RHUBARB ALMOND CAKE {GLUTEN FREE}



Rhubarb Almond Cake {Gluten Free} image

Provided by Ann

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 eggs
1/4 cup (2 oz.) butter, melted
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
5 oz. (about 1 1/2 cups) almond meal (ground almonds)
6 Tablespoons gluten free rice flour
1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped rhubarb
2 Tablespoons sliced almonds
About 2 Tablespoons raw (turbinado) sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F. Spray a 7 to 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer till frothy, then add the butter in a slow drizzle, beating constantly, till all the butter and eggs are nicely mixed. Add the yogurt and vanilla and stir gently with a spoon to mix.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, almond meal, rice flour, baking powder, and salt until all is well mixed, working out any clumps. Toss in about 3/4 of the rhubarb, saving a bit for the top, then stir in the egg mixture until everything is nicely mixed into a soft, gooey batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pay, top with the rest of the rhubarb and the sliced almonds.Sprinkle with raw sugar.
  • Bake at 325 for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours or a little longer (I lost track of time, so be prepared to check it a few times) or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. It is a very moist cake, but the pick should still come out with barely a crumb on it.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 rhubarb stalk (cut into 1" thick slices and any leftover pieces from trimming down the topping)
1 tablespoon sugar (white, brown or coconut)
1 lemon (zest & juice)
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar (white, brown or coconut)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups almond flour (blanched )
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 stalks rhubarb
1/4 cup sugar (white, brown or coconut)
1 tablespoon butter
1 lemon (zest & juice)
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Mix 1 cup of chopped rhubarb with the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of vanilla. Let sit until your ready to use, at least 30 min.
  • Toss the rhubarb stalks in a baking dish with zest and juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, ½ tablespoon of vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10min and then turn oven down to 375 degrees.
  • In the bowl of a food processor with the paddle attachment, beat butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, pulsing to combine the first egg before adding the second. Then add the almond extract and pulse for another few minutes until light and fluffy
  • Add almond flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt and give it another quick pulse until it's all combined.
  • Gradually add the yogurt and continue pulsing until it's all combined.
  • Pour batter into a bowl. Fold in macerated rhubarb with all it's delicious liquid too.
  • Scrape batter into a prepared pan. Smooth batter over with a spatula and arrange baked rhubarb on top. There will be some caramelized liquid in the dish that was used to bake the rhubarb ~ don't throw this out! We are using this to caramelize the almonds next.
  • Place cake in oven and bake for 1 hour, turning half way through.
  • While the cake bakes, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter directly into the pan used to bake the rhubarb stalks. I placed my baking dish directly on the stove. Once the butter is melted add the sliced almonds and cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the almonds look and smell caramelized. Set aside until the cake is down. The sliced almond topping is optional.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Double check that a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool and sprinkled with the caramelized sliced almond goodness.

GLUTEN-FREE RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Gluten-Free Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake image

This recipe is a major hit, always. If you want to use regular flour instead of the gluten-free, it will work very well. I did it that way for 30 years before we went gluten-free. Serve warm or at room temperature. I serve it with vanilla kefir from Grace Harbor Farms® on the top.

Tips:

  • Proper Almond Flour: Use finely ground almond flour for a smooth and even texture. Coarse almond flour can result in a grainy cake.
  • Fresh Rhubarb: Choose vibrant red rhubarb stalks that are firm and crisp. Avoid limp or bruised stalks.
  • Measuring Rhubarb: Cut rhubarb into 1-inch pieces before measuring to ensure accurate quantity.
  • Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the almond flour, resulting in a dense cake.
  • Baking Pan: Use a 9-inch springform pan with a removable bottom for easy release of the cake.
  • Cooling: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it. This helps prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

This almond rhubarb cake is a delightful treat that combines the flavors of sweet and tangy rhubarb with the nutty richness of almond flour. It's a gluten-free and low-GI option that is perfect for those with dietary restrictions or those looking for a healthier dessert. With its moist texture, vibrant color, and delicious taste, this cake is sure to be a hit at any gathering. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and indulge in the goodness of this almond rhubarb cake!
