Equipment

  • Traybake tin (pan) 36.5 x 26 cm (12 x 9 in)
  • baking parchment
  • Large bowl or stand mixer
  • wooden spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • measuring jug
  • chopping board
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients
 

  • 300 grams self-raising flour
  • 240 grams caster sugar
  • 100 millilitres vegetable oil
  • 80 millilitres water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 200 grams rhubarb
  • 60 grams Demerara sugar
  • 75 grams flaked almonds

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160 C Fan
  • If your traybake tin is non-stick you do not have to grease and line it. If you have a traditional pan then grease it well, and line the base with parchment paper. I like to line the tin anyway because it makes it easier to remove the cake from the tin.

  • Wash and finely chop the rhubarb, set aside.

  • Mix on low speed until the mixture comes together, then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients mix well. If mixing by hand, beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture is a smooth batter.
