Rhubarb Chocolate Cake / Raparperi-Suklaakakku



I have been craving all kinds of things made with rhubarb the last days/weeks. Which is great because the season has just started. My own rhubarb bush in the garden isn't big enough yet but no matter because there are already Swiss rhubarb available in the shops.


Today I was looking for some ideas in the Swissmilk webpage and found a nice looking recipe for Rhubarb Crumble Brownies. I decided to use the recipe as my "starter" and after some changes came out with a very tasty Rhubarb Chocolate cake.

Rhubarb Chocolate Cake

160 g butter
100 g milk chocolate
170 g eggs (about 3)
200 g sugar
2 g salt
110 g flour
15 g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
50 g cashew nuts, crushed
30 g almond flakes

For the crumble
90 g flour
50 g fine brown sugar
50 g butter, melted

230 g rhubarb, in cubes

For the dough melt the butter and chocolate and let cool down. Foam the eggs, sugar and salt. Mix together rest of the dry ingredients. Add the flour mixture to the eggs and mix well, but carefully. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and mix carefully.

For the crumble mix all the ingrediets until a crumbly mass is formed.

Place the dough into a cake form. You can use muffin/cupcake forms as well. First, place the rhubab cubes on top of the dough. You can also mix about 1/3 of the cubes with the dough beforehand. Last sprinkle the crumble over the cake. Bake at 180 for about 30 minutes.
