Rhubarb is another sign of spring. Years ago I had a rhubarb plant, and every spring I would make rhubarb pie and rhubarb sauce for my children. Now it's a tradition, and so every spring I buy some rhubarb so I can make a pie or a crisp.
This year I decided to try making a cake that I saw in my daughter-in-law's family reunion cookbook. I made the necessary gluten free adjustments, and it came out great!
Gluten Free Rhubarb Cake
1. Prepare rhubarb:
(1) Rinse and dice up 3 cups of rhubarb. (2) Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar (or a bit of agave if you're trying to reduce sugar) and toss.
(3) Let it sit while you're doing the rest of the cake preparation.
(4) Drain off any excess liquid before you add to the cake batter later.

(4) Drain off any excess liquid before you add to the cake batter later.
2. Prepare dry ingredients - In a medium sized mixing bowl put:
(1) 2/3 cup of rice flour, 2/3 cup of sorghum flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour, and 1/3 cup garbanzo flour.
(2) Add leavening: Stir in 1 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
3. Prepare liquid ingredients - in a large sized mixing bowl put:
(1) 1 cup of softened butter (I put 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of applesauce which works as a fat substitute in recipes.) and cream it with 1 1/4 cup of sugar.
(2) Stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 2 eggs and beat together.
4. Combine ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until combined. Beat with a mixer for 3 minutes on high.
5. Make cake topping: In a small bowl mix together 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. I'm sure this cake would be fine without it.
6. Getting the cake ready for baking:
(1) Spread half the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
(2) Spread rhubarb over the batter.
(3) Spread last half of batter over the fruit.
(4) Sprinkle topping over the batter.
7. Bake at 350 for approximately 35 minutes.
