A simple but delicious cake recipe:

From butter, sugar, flour, egg yolks and saltprise with cold hands quickly knead a shortcrust pastry. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for half an hour. Then roll out, and line a buttered tart springform pan with it.

Pulverize the almond kernels with two tablespoons of sugar in a chopper.

Spread evenly over the pastry base.

In the meantime, clean the rhubarb and cut into small cubes. Mix with the remaining sugar and the grated lemon zest and spread evenly on the almond sprinkled base. Put the cake on the lowest rack in the oven heated to 220 degrees and pre-bake the rhubarb cake for 20 minutes at the beginning.

Whisk the eggs with the whipped cream and vanilla sugar until smooth and pour evenly over the rhubarb. Bake the cake on the middle shelf at 180 degrees for another 10 to 15 minutes until the base is browned and the egg layer has set.

Of course, the rhubarb cake must cool down – but it tastes best fresh, just flat and still lukewarm.

If you’re not afraid of the calories, pile whipped cream on top.

Drink: espresso or coffee. But it also goes excellently with a little sparkling: a champagne, preferably made from Pinot Noir and bottled without dosage. It has power, but its dry taste can stand up well to the tart sweetness of the cake.
