- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a 9" springform pan.

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently just until combined.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan, and top with the rhubarb pieces. Sprinkle the top of cake with the turbinado sugar, if using.3/4 lb. rhubarb, 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- The oil and almond milk may be substituted with whatever you have on hand.
- I prefer to use coconut sugar in the cake as it's unrefined, but you can substitute it with the same amount of granulated or packed brown sugar.
- Do not substitute almond meal for almond flour as they are not interchangeable. Almond meal contains the skins of the almonds and is more coarse, which will affect the texture of the cake.
- Store leftover cake wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for 5-7 days. Cake may also be frozen for up to 3 months.
