5 from 1 vote

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup 300 gr. Rhubarb- sliced to 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup Butter 227 gr. Butter - room temperature
  • 3/4 cup 180 gr. Sugar + 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract or 1 package Vanilla Sugar
  • 4 Eggs - Separated
  • 2 cup 280 gr. All purpose Flour
  • 1 TBL Baking Powder
  • 2/3 cup 150 ml Plain Greek Yogurt
  • Powdered Sugar for Dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Grease a Bundt Pan (I like to use the butter wrapper like my Oma taught me)
  • Cut the Rhubarb into 1 Inch pieces, toss in a bowl with the 2 Tablespoons of sugar.
  • (Because you need to whip up egg whites, I find it easier to do that before making the batter. This way I don't have to clean my mixing bowl half way. I can just use the egg white mixing bowl for the rest of the batter. But if you have 2 mixing bowls, or a hand mixer, you don't have to worry about it.)
  • Separate the eggs, and set the yolks aside.
  • Beat the egg whites until they are at a medium peak. The peak should stay when you pull up the beater, but it shouldn't be dried out.
  • Now scrape the egg white into a bowl, and set aside for a bit.
  • Combine butter and sugar in the mixer, and beat for 5 minutes on medium. Scrape down the sides and bottom from time to time.
  • Add Vanilla (or Vanilla Sugar)
  • Add egg yolks one at a time .. beat
  • Combine flour with baking powder ... with mixer on low, slowly add the flour mix to the batter. Alternating with the yogurt.
  • Scrape the sides again
  • Carefully fold 1/4 of the egg white into the batter. Once it is combined, fold in another 1/2 of the remaining egg white. Then fold in the rest. The object is to not over-beat the batter. You want to keep as much air in the egg white as possible.
  • Add the Rhubarb pieces, and mix until combined.
  • Put the cake batter into your prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake for 1 hour, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the cake pan for 5 minutes on a rack.
  • Loosen the edges with a knife if needed... and flip the cake over
  • Let cool completely
  • Dust with Powdered Sugar
  • (Put a spoonful of powdered sugar in a sieve, then shake it over the cake for even distribution).
