Rhubarb Cake with Custard and Curd Cheese

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're building layers of flavor with a buttery semolina dough, tangy stewed rhubarb, and a creamy curd cheese filling—the most involved part is whisking the filling smooth with a mixer before baking. This takes just over an hour and a half from start to finish, but most of that is hands-off cooking and cooling time, so you'll have a stunning dessert that feels fancy but comes together quite naturally.

  1. 1/7

    Dough

    Mix the fine semolina flour with the baking powder and icing sugar. Add the egg yolks and the chilled butter, cut into small cubes. Work it into a firm, non-sticky dough. Wrap it in plastic film and leave to rest in the fridge for at least an hour.

  2. 2/7

    Three portions

    Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Put one part back in the fridge. Combine the remaining two and use them to make the base for the tin.

  3. 3/7

    Prepare the tin

    Line the bottom of a 25 cm springform cake tin with baking paper, tucking it in neatly. Grease the sides with butter and dust with fine semolina flour.

About this recipe

I've loved rhubarb ever since I was a kid. We had a patch growing in the corner of our yard, right by the garden gate. I loved breaking off a stalk, taking a bite, and pulling a face at how sour it was. Back then I fell head over heels for a really simple rhubarb tray bake my grandmother used to make, and for rhubarb compote too.
