Earlier in the week we attempted a rhubarb and almond cake and I say attempted because it didn't go entirely to plan. We had to stew rhubarb for the first time ever and although a nerve racking experience we managed it (although the recipe could do with being more specific as to how to do it and for how long, but then we made the rookie mistake of blending the stewed rhubarb into the cake mix instead of mixing it by hand. We realised our mistake just that second to late and did put some extra rhubarb in after but it was still not marbled within the cake as it was in the picture. We also forgot to put the almond flakes on top but again remembered after it'd been baking for a few minutes so that turned out all right.
However despite our numerous mistakes it turned out really well; it was extremely moist (probably a bit too moist because of the excess rhubarb), had a tangy bitter sweet flavour of rhubarb and the toasted almonds. It was delicious and was the perfect treat whilst watching the brilliantly awful Eurovision. We will definitely make this again
