Ingredients
  

  • 250 g rhubarb
  • 1 tbsp sugar for the rhubarb
  • 200 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 200 g all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 200 g butter
  • Pearl sugar or icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Cut the rhubarb into slices of approx. ½ cm. Mix the rhubarb slices with 1 tablespoon of sugar and let them sit for 5 minutes while you prepare the cake batter.
  • Turn on the oven and preheat it to 180 degrees Celcius ordinary heat.
  • Find a springform pan of approx. 22 cm in diameter. It should be thoroughly greased with butter and then sprinkled with flour.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan and set it aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat eggs and sugar together until fluffy and white, use a mixer. Then add the vanilla paste and beat for a little more time.
  • Flour and baking powder are now added to the mixture of eggs and sugar. Whisk it slowly until it becomes a smooth dough. Then add the butter gradually until the dough is evenly mixed. Finally, add 2/3 of the rhubarb and turn the dough around a few times so that they are evenly distributed.
  • Pour the dough into the greased springform pan. Spread the last 1/3 of the rhubarb over the cake and press them down lightly. Also feel free to pour the juice from the rhubarb over the top of the cake.
  • Now the cake must be baked at 180 degrees Celcius for approx. 40 minutes, or until you can stick in the cake with a needle without the raw dough sticking to it.
  • When the cake is done, take it out of the oven to cool.
  • Now the cake is ready to serve. You may want to give the cake a sprinkle of pearl sugar or icing sugar on top.
  • Serve the cake as it is or with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or sour cream.
