Rhubarb and Marzipan Cake - Fab Food 4 All
Rhubarb and Marzipan Cake

I was chatting to my mum recently when she told me about some Rhubarb and Marzipan Muffins her sister had been baking. Well there was a flavour combination I hadn’t thought about and having plenty of marzipan and rhubarb the other day I decided to make a Rhubarb and Marzipan Cake.

I based the recipe on Lilian’s Apple Cake and kept the cinnamon in it as I thought that would go really well too. The result was delicious and proved a good way of using up a glut of rhubarb I had and some leftover marzipan from Christmas! The flaked almonds on the top of the cake take become toasted which compliments the subtle marzipan flavour beautifully. My mother, father and sister also got to have a slice over the bank holiday weekend and gave it the thumbs up to – phew!

As this recipe used up leftover marzipan and some cheap rhubarb that was on offer I’m entering my Rhubarb and Marzipan Cake into Credit Crunch Munch which is run by myself and Helen of Fuss Free Flavours and this month being hosted by Linzi from Lancashire Food. Next I’m entering a new event Cook Blog Share from Lucy of Supergolden Bakes. Simple & in Season is the next challenge I’m entering over at Ren Behan as Rhubarb is very much in season! Finally I’m entering No Waste Food Challenge which is run by Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary and being hosted by Michelle from Utterly Scrummy as I used up my leftover marzipan, rhubarb and flaked almonds!

    This is definitely my kind of cake! I have never had a rhubarb one but it would be such a lovely thing to have a go at.

    I wonder whether this would work with the frozen rhubarb I have, which was prestewed – perhaps if I drain off the liquid? Hmm…

      I would stick with making crumble or pie with stewed rhubarb not cake as it will be too wet even after draining.

    Looks like a very interesting combination! Shame my wife doesn’t like marzipan so she won’t make it. Might have to try it myself when she’s out… 🙂

      Aaw William, you’d probably find that she’d eat it if you made it. My hubby and kids don’t like lots of things and indeed hubby moaned about this dessert as he doesn’t like blackberries but somehow they always eat my puds and cakes even with stuff they say they don’t like;-)
