We have a thriving rhubarb plant in our garden and yesterday I made a spicy rhubarb cake, which is absolutely delicious!
Spicy Rhubarb Cake
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup raw sugar
175g butter, melted
1 egg, whisked
1½ cups plain flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp mixed spice
1 cup sultanas
¾ cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 180˚. Line a 2ocm ring tin with greaseproof paper. Put the rhubarb and sugar in a large bowl, and stir well. Add butter and egg and mix well. Fold in sifted dry ingredients, sultanas, and walnuts. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake for one hour.
This recipe came from the “Listener” and I thoroughly recommend it. We grow walnuts as well as rhubarb, and it’s great to be using our own produce. The cake would be lovely served as a dessert with cream or yoghurt, and it’s yummy on its own – one of the best I’ve tasted.
“Rhubarb and walnuts from our land
combine to make a cake that’s grand.”
This looks really yummy, and lucky you for being able to use your own produce – especially the walnuts.

Lovely! My rhubarb plant is growing nicely. I may have enough rhubarb soon to use in a cake. I had enough to make a small quantity of rhubarb fool the other night. That was yummy.

I used eight stalks to get two cups full.

[…] I have an abundance of rhubarb. If you’d like some, let me know. (You might end up with a few aquilegias as well.) I could even let you have a crown so you can grow your own. It’s essential for making delectable spicy rhubarb cake. […]
