Ingredients:
- 3 cups of sliced rhubarb
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 3/4 cup natural sugar or honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of natural yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Prep:
The preparation of this cake is extremely simple and does not require specialized cooking skills. Start by mixing the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar (or honey), baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: melted butter, egg, natural yogurt and vanilla extract.
Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are combined. Try not to mix for too long to make the dough fluffy. Once the ingredients are combined, add the sliced rhubarb and gently stir it into the batter.
Pour the batter into the previously prepared baking pan, preferably lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 45-50 minutes, until the cake is golden and a cake tester comes out clean.
After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on the griddle. Serve the cake warm or cold, depending on your preference. You can also decorate the cake with fresh rhubarb or sprinkle with powdered sugar for extra decoration and sweetness.
Variants and modifications
This recipe is flexible and allows for a variety of modifications to customize the cake to your liking. For example, you can add nuts or other fruits, such as strawberries or apples, to the cake for extra texture and flavor. If you want to make the cake even more healthy, you can replace some of the whole wheat flour with almond or coconut flour and use sugar substitutes.
