Rhubarb-almond cake

It's April and rhubarb season again! One of my favorite fruits in desserts. Technically rhubarb is classified as vegetable but most people eat it as fruit in desserts :-) Rhubarb is one of the only seasonal fruits in Switzerland in April-May so I thought I would bake a cake with my freshly-bought rhubarb.

Last year I made rhubarb-walnut muffins and a rhubarb crumble tart so I wanted to make an easy cake for coffee. I read a few recipes of rhubarb and almond cakes so I combined them to my taste and found that the recipe below is easy and very good! If you like rhubarb, almond and a pinch of cinnamon, this cake is for you!
