Rhubarb Cake Trifle started out as an experiment. I wanted the crumbly texture of a cake but I also wanted a creamy flavour. I like the fact that I have raw rhubarb in this dish. Not only is the rhubarb crunchy when raw but it has lush tasting delicacy.

Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- For the trifle topping
- 1kg rhubarb
- 200g unrefined raw coconut sugar
- 500ml vegan milk (I really like the flavour of Tiger milk)
- For cake
- 150ml olive oil
- 100ml coconut oil, melted
- 100g unrefined raw coconut sugar
- 400g flour
- 100ml filtered water
- 4tbs flaxseeds, ground
- 2tbs bicarbonate of soda
- 2tbs cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Line a cake tin with olive oil. Place baking paper so that it covers the bottom and sides.
- In a food mixer combine the oils with the sugar. Add the flour, water and flaxseeds. Continue whizzing.
- Add the bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. The batter should start to fizz.
- Transfer the batter to the cake tin. Cover the top with aluminium foil. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. You want to ensure that the cake remains moist and do not worry if the skewer does not come out clean.
- Remove from the oven from the oven and set to one side. Turnover into a large deep serving dish.
- Combine the topping comprising the rhubarb, sugar and milk in a blend. Pour over the cake. Allow to soak about an hour before serving.
