EASY RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter a deep, round 20cm cake tin and line the base with a circle of non-stick baking parchment.
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, then add the caster sugar and lemon zest and beat again. Gradually add the eggs to the mixture, beating well with each addition, until fully combined. The mixture will begin to look glossy - if at any stage the mixture curdles, beat in a spoonful of ground almonds and continue to add the egg until it is all amalgamated.
- Stir in the ground almonds, then the flour, and fold everything carefully together using a large spoon. Fold through half the rhubarb, then transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter with the remaining rhubarb. Finish with the demerara sugar sprinkled on top. Bake the cake for 45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. (This may take up to 30 mins longer depending on how much liquid the rhubarb releases.) Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly in the tin, then remove from the tin. When the cake is cold, make the topping.
- Whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. In a small bowl, loosen the lemon curd with about 1 tbsp water and carefully fold it through the cream, without overworking. Spread over the cake, drizzle with a little more lemon curd and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb has a better flavor and texture than frozen or canned rhubarb.
- Choose the right pan: Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for this recipe. A smaller pan will make the cake too thick and a larger pan will make it too thin.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45 minutes. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, bake the cake for a few more minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Enjoy the cake! Rhubarb cake with lemon sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. Serve it warm or cold, with or without whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Rhubarb cake with lemon sauce is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. The tartness of the rhubarb is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the cake and the tangy lemon sauce. This cake is sure to be a favorite in your home.
