Cake with Rhubarb

  • This is the same recipe as Cake with Sour Fruits – 1.
  • I got this recipe from my Polish friend in Leeds.
  • It is a batter style cake but made with melted butter rather than oil, which I have used before in cakes such as
  • Victorian Apple Cake  or 
  • Cake with Peaches  
  • The original recipe was for rhubarb –   rabarbar  – in Polish and this is what I used now it is in season.
  • You need to use quite a lot of rhubarb as the cake rises and the fruit moves apart.
  • *
  • If the rhubarb is too sour you can dust the cake with icing sugar before serving.
