Bake in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Recipe Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk, use 250 ml (1 cup) milk with 5 ml (1 teaspoon) white vinegar added. This whitish liquid with a sour taste is in fact partly skimmed milk with added bacterial culture. We usually use buttermilk to give a soft texture to cakes and muffins. Unfortunately, buttermilk is only sold in one litre cartons. Thus, you must keep the remainder, once opened, a week in the refrigerator. For a longer period, freezing is necessary. Use small sealed plastic bags and measure 125 ml (1/2 cups) per bag. This way, if you freeze it flat, it will thaw quickly. I sometimes add some to my pancakes or mashed potatoes preparations. You can also make refreshing drinks with fruit and a little sugar in a blender.

Je suis fan de rhubarbe mais où est la version francophone de la recette?
Voici la version FR de la recette: https://santropolroulant.org/fr/2018/06/recette-du-roulant-gateau-a-la-rhubarbe/
Delicious! Made it with the rhubarb we got in our Santripol panier this week and served it with fresh strawberrie on the side ( also in our panier;). I used powdered ginger and sugar instead of cinnamon for the garnish as we thought it would be a good combination with the rhubarb – it was!
Thanks for posting the recipe.
Sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed the recipe!
