Rhubarb and almond traybake

Print Recipe
A really simple and delicious traybake with a light almond sponge and tender rhubarb. Perfect with a cup of tea or served warm with ice cream for dessert.
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 35 minutes mins
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 175 g butter, softened at room temperature, plus extra for greasing
  • 175 g golden caster sugar, plus 3 tbsp to sprinkle
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp almond or vanilla extract
  • 175 g ground almonds
  • 175 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 350 g slender pink rhubarb, trimmed and cut into roughly 2cm pieces
  • 25 g flaked almonds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to Fan 170C/Gas 4. Grease a 30 x 20cm brownie, cake or shallow roasting tin with butter and line the base with non-stick baking paper.
  • Put the butter, 175g sugar, eggs, almond extract, ground almonds, flour and baking powder in large bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth and thick (You can also do this in a mixer or food processor).
  • Spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin and spread to the sides – it will be fairly thick. Top with the rhubarb, pressing gently into the cake batter.
  • Sprinkle with the reserved sugar and then the flaked almonds.Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden, risen and firm. If you insert a skewer into a couple of places in the centre of the cake, avoiding any pieces of rhubarb, it should come out clean.
  • Serve warm or cold, cut into squares. This cake keeps well for up to three days in the fridge and can be frozen wrapped tightly in foil for up to a month.

Notes

Microwave tip
To soften your butter in the microwave, cut fridge-cold butter into small chunks and place in a microwaveable bowl. Cook on HIGH for about 30 secs, or until softened but not melted. If you use a large bowl, you can add the other ingredients for mixing.

Using a few ingredients you can create an easy war Using a few ingredients you can create an easy warm salad that's just right for this in-between weather.  Toss chickpeas, cubes of squash and cauliflower with a little olive oil and spices (I use a combination of cumin, coriander and chilli), scatter onto a tray and bake in a hot oven until lightly roasted. Toss with baby spinach and roasted peppers from a jar, before drizzling with a simple yoghurt dressing.⁠

I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe fr I love making this quick yoghurt pancake recipe from my book ‘Quick and Easy’ because I don't need any scales – just a small yoghurt pot for all my measuring. They’re deliciously light and very simple to make – the key is to have your pan nice and hot before adding the batter. (You can swipe for the recipe – I’ve included the weights and measures in case you are using a larger 500g pot of yoghurt.)
