Almond Rhubarb Cake Gluten Free Low Gi Recipes

RHUBARB ALMOND CAKE {GLUTEN FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 F. Spray a 7 to 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a small bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer till frothy, then add the butter in a slow drizzle, beating constantly, till all the butter and eggs are nicely mixed. Add the yogurt and vanilla and stir gently with a spoon to mix.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, almond meal, rice flour, baking powder, and salt until all is well mixed, working out any clumps. Toss in about 3/4 of the rhubarb, saving a bit for the top, then stir in the egg mixture until everything is nicely mixed into a soft, gooey batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pay, top with the rest of the rhubarb and the sliced almonds.Sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake at 325 for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours or a little longer (I lost track of time, so be prepared to check it a few times) or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. It is a very moist cake, but the pick should still come out with barely a crumb on it.

RHUBARB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Mix 1 cup of chopped rhubarb with the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of vanilla. Let sit until your ready to use, at least 30 min.
• Toss the rhubarb stalks in a baking dish with zest and juice of 1 lemon, ¼ cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, ½ tablespoon of vanilla, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 10min and then turn oven down to 375 degrees.
• In the bowl of a food processor with the paddle attachment, beat butter and 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, pulsing to combine the first egg before adding the second. Then add the almond extract and pulse for another few minutes until light and fluffy
• Add almond flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt and give it another quick pulse until it's all combined.
• Gradually add the yogurt and continue pulsing until it's all combined.
• Pour batter into a bowl. Fold in macerated rhubarb with all it's delicious liquid too.
• Scrape batter into a prepared pan. Smooth batter over with a spatula and arrange baked rhubarb on top. There will be some caramelized liquid in the dish that was used to bake the rhubarb ~ don't throw this out! We are using this to caramelize the almonds next.
• Place cake in oven and bake for 1 hour, turning half way through.
• While the cake bakes, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter directly into the pan used to bake the rhubarb stalks. I placed my baking dish directly on the stove. Once the butter is melted add the sliced almonds and cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the almonds look and smell caramelized. Set aside until the cake is down. The sliced almond topping is optional.
• Remove the cake from the oven. Double check that a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the cake cool and sprinkled with the caramelized sliced almond goodness.
