Delicious Rhubarb Almond Cake Recipe - Sweet and Nutty

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup rhubarb, diced (Fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sliced almonds (For topping)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (For dusting)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Use parchment paper for easier removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

    Make sure to mix well after each addition.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
  6. Fold in Rhubarb

    Gently fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed.

    Reserve a few pieces for topping if desired.
  7. Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

    Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

    Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
