Tangy rhubarb is sprinkled throughout this moist and springy cake. Serve as the sweet note to end a brunch or with a cup of afternoon tea. This makes a beautiful gluten free cake. The finished cake is very moist and slightly denser than the wheat flour version. See notes below for gluten free alterations.
To make this cake gluten free substitute 180 grams of gluten free all purpose flour. Include 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum if your flour mixture does not include xanthan.
For the gluten free version you may have better results tossing the rhubarb in 1 teaspoon of tapioca flour and 2 teaspoons of all purpose mix.
After baking do not turn the gluten free cake out of the pan to cool. Wait until it reaches room temperature and transfer carefully to your serving plate. For best results serve plated by the slice.
Store both versions of this cake tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
