Make this sweet almondy rhubarb cake when fresh rhubarb is in season. The cake is deliciously moist and benefits from an irresistible crumbly almond topping. This recipe makes two cakes so you can give one away.

    We really enjoyed this cake. I replaced the vanilla with almond extract and added a few extra drops to the topping.

    Tweak: Theresa Altered ingredient amounts:

    Like others I found this an easy cake to make and irresistible when cooked. I did change the almonds for walnuts as I love them also added 25% more rhubarb and an extra teaspoon of bicarb. I didnt put the nuts into the mix but only ontop and added extra. Will use this time and again.

    a tasty treat, easy to make and it was nice to do something different with the rhubarb in season. The cake has a wonderful nutty moistness. I didn't have any flaked almonds in the cupboard, but had ground...it seemed to work ok, just had a fresh batch of rhubarb delivered, so will make again!!! God Bless x

    Review: Dessert Diva

    I work at a B & B. I decided to make this coffee cake because I was craving rhubarb. Well, am I ever thankful this made two cakes! I served only 4 guests but they each had two pieces! Unheard of, at least as far as sweets usually go. This was DELICIOUS and then some. Thank you for such a wonderful and easy recipe. I will definately be making this in the future. Of course, I may also be tempted to try it with raspberries or strawberries...
