How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly oil a deep 6 inch circular loose bottom cake tin. Add the almond milk, butter, vanilla, lemon juice, rum, and 5 tablespoons erythritol to a food processor. Blend well to combine.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into the food processor. Blend the mixture again until everything is well combined. The mixture should be smooth, light and foamy.
Step 3
Add the ground almonds, cocoa powder, ginger, cinnamon, salt and baking soda to the food processor. Blend well to combine until you have a smooth and thick cake batter. You can adjust the quantity of spices and cocoa powder as desired, adding more or less to suit your personal tastes.
Step 4
Dice the rhubarb into 1/2 inch chunks. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin. Level the cake with a spatula so that it is even. Scatter the rhubarb chunks over the surface of the cake and press down a little so they sit in line with the batter. Sprinkle over the teaspoon of erythritol.
Step 5
Transfer the cake to the oven to bake for 45 minutes. The cake should be firm on top and cooked through. Set aside to cool completely. Once cooled, carefully release the cake from the tin. Slice the cake into 8 even wedges to serve.
