I am a huge fan of Sofia Coppola’s work, therefore I was very excited to do this “Marie Antoinette movie” inspired, “I want Candy” coloured birthday cake for a dear friend of mine. Felicidades Ana :heart:

Since Christmas I had a glass of rhubarb compote (which I bought back home in Germany) smiling at me every time I opened the fridge. I never managed to find rhubarb in Barcelona, so I saved this glass like a little treasure for a special occasion. As I had some dear friends visiting I made this rhubarb cake with honey meringue and wanted to share this easy and yummy recipe with you :heart:

rhubarb honey meringue cake (24cm diameter)
************************************************************************
Ingredients:
*ca 1 kg rhubarb, peeled and cut into 2cm pieces
( I used 600g Bonne Maman rhubarb compote)
*100 sugar
*125g butter (softened not melted)
*1 sachet vanilla sugar
*a hint of salt
*150g flour
*50g starch flour
*3 eggs(medium)
*1 teaspoon baking powder
*1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
*a hint of nutmeg
For the honey meringue
*30g sugar
*3 tablespoons of honey
************************************************************************

Preheat the oven @200ºC
Mix softened butter with sugar, vanilla sugar and salt and beat well.
Separate 2 eggs.
Stir 2 egg yolks and 1 egg into the batter.
In a small bowl mix flour, baking powder, starch flour  and cinnamon and nutmeg.
Then add the flour mix into the batter and mix well.
Put the batter into a 24cm round greased baking pan( I recommend to line the bottom with baking paper), put all the rhubarb on top and bake for ca 35-40 minutes.


Shortly before the end of the baking time make the honey meringue:
Beat the 2 egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, adding the 30g sugar bit by bit. Then add the honey and stir in with a big spoon.
Remove the cake from the oven and put the meringue on top. Bake again for 10 minutes.
Let cool before removing from the baking pan.
Enjoy with nice people :heart:
