rhubarb + vanilla yoghurt cake
serves:12
prep: 20 mins cook: 5o mins
300g rhubarb, thinly sliced
310g self raising flour
230g caster sugar
zest of one orange
pinch of salt
2 eggs
125g plain yoghurt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp orange flower water (optional - I use it)
125g unsalted butter, melted + extra to grease the tin
Mix together the rhubarb, flour, sugar, zest and salt.
Separately mix the eggs, yoghurt, vanilla, orange flower water and butter.
Combine both mixtures until no dry patches remain, but don't over-mix. (It will take a bit of heft to turn it all over. Use a large bowl and spoon to give enough room.)
Pour into a greased lined 9" cake tin and level off.
Bake at 180 C for 5o mins or until just cooked through and golden.
Leave to cool in the tin for 15 mins then finish on a cooling rack.
It is a Riverford recipe. It is yum. Promise.
