Servings 10 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rhubarb, diced (4-5 stalks)
  • 4 eggs (pasture raised)
  • 1 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (full fat, no additives)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, liquid
  • 1/4 cup and 2Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (alcohol free)
  • powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and trim both ends of the rhubarb stalk. Cut the rhubarb into 1/2 inch chunks. If some of your stalks are very thick you can slice the whole thing in half. You want to make sure your rhubarb pieces are equally sized.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs. Let them come to room temperature for a couple of minutes before adding the coconut oil to avoid the hardening of the oil.
  • In the meantime, in another large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: Tigernut flour, cassava flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add coconut milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and honey to the egg mix and whisk until smooth. Combine with the flour mix and whisk until you have a smooth/thick batter. Finally, fold in half of the rhubarb and make sure it is distributed evenly.
  • Grease a round 9-inch cake pan with coconut oil and flour it with arrowroot flour.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan. Use a spoon to distribute it since it will be quite thick. Add the rest of the rhubarb evenly on top and slightly press it into the batter.
  • Bake for about 55 minutes or until a cake tester/toothpick comes out without batter on it.
  • Let it cool off and right before serving dust with powdered sugar using a sieve.
