Cut 95g (3 1/2 oz) of the rhubarb into 1cm slices and toss them, in a class or china bowl, with 25g of the caster sugar. Cut the remaining rhubarb into 5cm pieces. Scatter 2 tablespoons of Demerara sugar over the base of the prepared tin, then arrange the rhubarb pieces over in one layer (any that dont fit can be sliced and added to the rhubarb and sugar in the bowl). Sprinkle the remaining Demerara sugar over the rhubarb in the tin. Preheat the oven to 190C, 375F, gas mark 5. Cream together the butter and remaining caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, followed by the orange zest. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, a pinch of salt and the cinnamon, then fold into the creamed mixture with the ground almonds. Fold in the rhubarb and sugar mixture and add sufficient milk to given an easy dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake in the centre of the over for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 180C, 350F, gas mark 4 and bake for a further 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is firm to a light touch in the centre. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes before loosening around the edges with a knife and turning out either onto a serving plate or a wire rack to finish cooling.

Show more commentsThis cake went down well, but I wondered whether it should have been turned upside down to serve? Otherwise most of the rhubarb is sitting on the bottom.. An alternative is to put the rhubarb on the top before cooking, and let it sink through as the cake rises. That way you can also cover the top with a mixture of Demerara sugar and cinnamon- delicious!
