I don’t make a lot of cakes, I don’t know why. I make muffins, bars, cookies, maybe because they’re handy snack and that’s what I need the most.

Last week, in my vegetable basket, I got rhubarb. I don’t usually cook this a lot. I remember making a pie but nothing more. So I decided to try something new for me. I wanted to make a cake and cook my rhubarb like in a “Tarte Tatin”. In this recipe I got inspired by a cake I found on the Saveur, but as usual I modified it. I made it vegan and gluten free. It turned out very well. It was moist and very tasty. If you can, serve it warm. The best is when in comes out of the oven. It is very good.
