Ingredients

• Rhubarb Filling
• 6 Cups rhubarb, peeled
• 0.75 Cups white sugar
• Cake Base
• 7 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, softened
• 0.33 Cups white sugar
• 2 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) white wine
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Large egg
• Almond Custard
• 1 Cup almond flour
• 0.75 Cup crème fraîche
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) crème fraîche
• 0.67 Cup white sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon

Steps

1. Prepare Rhubarb Filling: In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb and sugar. Mix well and set aside for about 1 hour to allow the rhubarb to release its juices.
2. Make Cake Base: In another large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the flour, white wine, baking powder, and egg. Mix until a dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan.
4. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle slightly larger than the cake pan. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, pressing it up the sides by about 1 inch.
5. Bake Rhubarb Layer: Drain the rhubarb and scatter it evenly over the dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
6. Prepare Almond Custard: While the cake is baking, beat together the almond flour, crème fraîche, sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon until smooth.
7. Add Custard Layer: After 45 minutes, remove the cake from the oven. Pour the almond custard mixture over the rhubarb layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan before slicing. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
