Ingredients
- 200 g butter
- 5 dl sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 vanilla bean
- zest of 1 orange (fine grated)
- 10 dl flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tap baking powder
- 2.5 dl sour cream
- 4–5 stems of rhubarb
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C. Whisk the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add one egg at a time and whisk to combine. Scrape the seeds from vanilla bean and add to the butter mixture with the grated orange zest.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture by turns, mixing continuously.
- Clean/peel the stems of rhubarb and dice into small cubes. Add to the batter and mix to combine.
- Grease and flour a cake tin (ø24cm). Pour the batter into the tin and bake the cake in the oven for about 45 minutes. Don’t leave the cake raw, but just a bit under so it stays moist and a bit sticky in the middle. (Remember to test the cake with a thin wooden stick, different ovens can have very different cooking times.) Enjoy!
- If you want you can decorate the cake with small pieces of rhubarb before baking the cake and finish the baked cake with powdered sugar icing!
