    I made this Strawberry-Rhubarb Cake for my sister Maddalena's birthday. She has always disliked any chocolate or cream cake (I know, WTF?!), while she has always been passionate about fruitcakes. I am the exact opposite, the sweeter the better! Gimme a super indulgent cake full of chocolate/caramel/cream and I can die happy!

    This cake is light, fluffy, delicate and easy to make. All you need are some very ripe and flavorful strawberries and a couple of rhubarb stalks. Quick note: if you want to make it extra indulgent serve it with some coconut-ice cream or coconut whipped cream, this will take the whole cake-experience to a whole new level, trust me!

    Strawberry-Rhubarb Cake

    In this recipe I used banana as a egg-substitute. If you do not like bananas you have two options. The first one is using a not too ripe one, this will make sure that the cake doesn't taste like it. The second one is using two flax-eggs. Just combine 2 tbsp of flax seeds powder with 6 tbsp of water and whisk until the mixture becomes gelatinous.

      Hi, I just make this Strawberry Rhubarb cake today. I noticed in the recipe that you list almond milk but in the directions it doesn’t say to add the milk. Also how much exactly is 3/5 ? That should be written in a different way. We don’t have fifths on our measuring cups.The cake is good but I feel it needs some tweaking.ThanksDeborah
