This recipe is not a surprise. I already promised you in the rhubarb curd blogpost that I’m going to make a cake to go with the curd. Let me tell you: this is a success! It gives this rhubarb cake with honey meringue just that extra zing.
All you need is:
– 125 g butter at room temperature
– 205 g sugar
– 1 Tbsp Vanille sugar
– 3 eggs
– 1 pinch of salt
– 2 Tbsp of milk
– 50 g corn starch
– 150 g flour (I used whole grain flour)
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 500 g rhubarb
– 1 heaped tablespoon honey
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Cut the rhubarb into small pieces (about 1 cm thick). Put the butter with 125 g of sugar, the Vanille sugar and salt into a mixing bowl and mix well. Gradually add one whole egg and 2 egg yolks.
Sieve the flour, corn starch and baking powder into the bowl and add the milk. Stir with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth dough.
Grease a baking form and fill in the mixture. Top it off with the rhubarb pieces (make sure to leave a little room around the edges).
Bake in the oven for 45 mins.
Before taking the cake out of the oven mix the egg whites with 80 g sugar and the honey until soft peaks form.
Take the cake out of the oven and spread the meringue on top. Flame it with a blow torch and let the cake cool down completely before serving.

This is the perfect cake with every summer garden party. At least that’s what I think. Not that I actually have any experience because I don’t have a garden. Nor was there a party. Unless you count me dancing and smiling and gulping a cake all by myself as a party. No? Even not if I tell you there were flowers involved? No. Hm. Then I have to find myself a garden in the near feature to check this theory.
Now I’m going back to have another pieces. With the whole grain flour and the fruits it certainly counts as a healthy snack, right?
