Rhubarb cake makes the most of one of Britain’s most delicious seasonal ingredients. This recipe from Alix Caiger of Caiger & Co. makes a light dessert, scented with almond and vanilla, and the delicious tart edge of rhubarb. Best of all, you can prepare your rhubarb cake for baking in just 15 minutes. Add a sprinkling of sifted icing sugar, once your cake has cooled, to make it look extra pretty.
