Photo credit: © Eatwell101.comWe simply cannot go through the rhubarb season without trying a scrumptious rhubarb tart for dessert! If you’re looking for a fresh and fruity cake to end your meal or accompany your tea, this recipe for you, and it’s really not complicated. The rhubarb turns meltingly tender as the tart bakes, and it retains all its sweet tartness in the final dessert. The real magic happens with the almond cream and vanilla sugar filling, which flavor brings balance in the background.
