Method

  • 1. Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20 x 20cm cake tin with baking paper.

  • 2. Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two separate mixing bowls. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, beating for 2 minutes, then stir in the flour until combined.

  • 3. Slowly add the lukewarm milk, beating until all the ingredients are well mixed.

  • 4. In the other bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, a third at a time.

  • 5. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter over the chopped rhubarb. It will sink into the cake as it bakes.

  • 6. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is lightly golden and doesn't wobble.

  • 7. Leave to cool in the cake tin, then turn out onto a wire rack. When ready to serve, dust the top with icing sugar. Serve with

  • whipped cream or yoghurt.

  • Helpful Tip

  • Fresh rhubarb will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
