📝 Ingredients
- •21 ounces (600 g) rhubarb, peeled and cubed
- •2 Tablespoons sugar
- •2/3 cup (130 g) sugar
- •1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- •1/8 teaspoon salt
- •2 large eggs
- •1 1/4 cup (150 g) flour
- •1 3/4 ounces (50 g) roasted almonds, ground

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350F Convection. Grease a round 26 cm Spring pan (9 1/2 inch).
- 2
Wash, dry and peel the rhubarb.
- 3
Cut it in little pieces, mix with 2 tablespoon of sugar and let sit for at least 1/2 hour. It will extract a lot of water that needs to be drained. Pat rhubarb dry for further use.
- 4
In a kitchen machine beat together butter, sugar and vanilla extract until the butter is fluffy and the sugar is dissolved. Put in the eggs, one at a time and mix well.
- 5
In a separate bowl sift together flour, ground almonds, salt and baking powder, add slowly to the egg mixture. Dont over mix.
- 6
Fill dough into the spring pan, top with dried rhubarb and bake for 25 min.
- 7
In the mean time prepare the meringue/ baiser topping. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly add the sugar until meringue is firm and shiny.
- 8
Spread the meringue evenly over the rhubarb and decorate with almond slices. Return to the oven for another 15 min. Cover the cake with aluminum foil after 5 min. in case the meringue does turn too dark.
- 9
Cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.
