Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup lard (or your favorite solid oil)
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup cream (or your favorite non-dairy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 2/3 cups cassava flour (or your favorite flour or flour blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups rhubarb finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or your favorite solid oil)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (maple sugar, brown sugar, or your favorite granulated sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup flour (or a grain-free flour alternative, or your favorite gluten free flour blend)
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 7”x10” or an 8”x8” baking dish with lard, coconut oil, or ghee.
  • Add lard, honey and egg to the bowl of a standing mixer. With whisk attachment at medium speed, cream together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine apple cider vinegar and coconut cream (tip: add vinegar to the bottom of a measuring cup and then pour in cream to the ¾ cup line). Add 1 tsp baking soda and let sit for 2 minutes. (Caution: it will froth and expand, so use at least a 2 cup size measuring cup or do this step in a mixing bowl.)
  • Combine flour, spices, remaining baking soda and salt.
  • With mixer on low, add thirds of flour mixture and cream mixture, alternately. Once fully incorporated, remove whisk attachment and fold in rhubarb by hand.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Make the crumb topping. Combine butter, sugar, cinnamon and flour in a small bowl.  With your fingers, gently drop crumbs onto the surface of the cake batter, breaking up any bigger pieces as you go.
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top of the cake, if using.
  • Put in the oven. Set a timer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, increase oven temperature to 350F. Cook for a further 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
