Rhubarb cake with almond icing

Sandra and I found this amazing Rhubarb cake in Copenhagen so I decided to try to make one myself, without the "cheesecake frozing" on top... just the cake!



Recipe
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
50g butter
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tea spoon ground cardamon (you can have less or more depending on how much you like cardamon, however at least 3/4 tea spoon)

2,5-3 cups flour
1,5 tea spoon baking powder
2 tbs vanilla sugar

100 g almond icing

2-3 Rhubarb stalks (depending on the size.. 2 big o 3 small)
a little bit of sugar and cinnamon and butter when griddle the rhubarb


How to make it:

1. Put on the oven to 175 degrees Celcius
2. Beat eggs and sugar and make it spongy
3. Put the butter in a pot and let it melt, then pour down milk and the grounded cardamon and stir it and pour it down in the eggmix.
4. Mix flour, baking powder and vanilla sugar in a bowl then pour it down with the egg mix. Mix it slowly
5. Mix down the almond icing in the mix
6. Peel the rhubarb and chop it into 1-2cm thick pieces. Put some butter in a fryingpan and pour down the rhubarb add some sugar and cinnamon and griddle them until they go soft.
7. Pour down the cakemix in a cake pan. (don't forget to put breadcrumbs in the pan otherwise the cake will get stuck in the pan!!)
Then pour down the rhubarb pieces.
8. Bake it in the middle of the owen for aprox. 30 min
