Rhubarb Cake with Custard and Curd Cheese

Step-by-step method

At a glance

First you make a shortcrust pastry that needs to rest in the fridge for a while, and in the meantime you simmer the rhubarb until soft. The curd cheese, custard powder, eggs and rhubarb are whisked into a smooth cream, which is poured over the pastry base in the tin. Finally, the top is covered with grated pastry crumbs, and the cake is slowly baked until golden - it takes a bit of time, but the result is well worth it.

Roll out the chilled dough into a circle and place it in the tin. It should cover the bottom and come up the sides all the way to the top edge. Press the dough into place with your fingers and prick the base with a fork.

Grate the remaining dough and bake

Tap the tin firmly against the worktop a few times to release any trapped air from the filling. Grate the remaining dough from the fridge on the coarse side of a grater and scatter it evenly over the top of the cake. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C for 45 minutes.

About this recipe

I've loved rhubarb ever since I was a kid. It grew in the corner of our yard, right by the garden gate. I used to love breaking off a piece, eating it, and pulling faces at how sour it was. Back then I fell head over heels for a really simple rhubarb sheet cake my grandmother used to bake, studded with chunks of rhubarb. And rhubarb stewed fruit too, of course.
