This rhubarb tea cake is easy to make and is a perfect afternoon tea treat!
Lately it seems like I’ve been baking the same old things again, and again, and again.
I know my kids love muesli bars and cookies, but I’ve made those so many times I know the recipes by heart, and I’m getting sick of them. It’s time for something new!
I used to make this easy rhubarb tea cake a lot before we had kids, and I remembered how good it was to eat it straight from the oven, still warm with a dollop of cream or yogurt.
It’s time this recipe was brought back into circulation and given a new lease of life!
It’s a simple tea cake recipe with cooked rhubarb added to the mixture. The rhubarb makes this cake lovely a moist as well as adding a sweet tang!
You also use pieces of rhubarb to decorate the top of the cake, and the kids will love making designs to decorate the top.
You could also make this tea cake with apples or plums, or even nectarines or peaches in summer. Or use a combination of apple and rhubarb, for a delicious change.
This rhubarb tea cake is easy to make and perfect for an afternoon tea treat!

I love to cook with rhubarb, it has such a great colour, and it grows like a weed in our garden. In winter time when there is not much else growing I can always count on the rhubarb for some extra colour and flavour!
Are you a rhubarb fan?
I’d love to add a few more rhubarb recipes to my list, so please leave a comment below if you have a great rhubarb recipe to share.
Oh my goodness – that looks amazing. Good with thick, thick cream too I’d imagine!
I’m hungry. That cake looks delicious.
Sounds delish!
Love rhubarb cake!
BTW you left the egg out of the ingredients. Just letting you know :)
Oh thanks for picking that up!
I kept reading through the ingredients list thinking it looked wrong… but had no idea I’d left out the egg! LOL
Yummo. I’m thinking I’ll finally be planting some rhubarb!
Yum
Big rhubarb fan here – I bookmarked this straight away to try out the recipes. The rhubarb fizz looks similar to a rhubarb champagne recipe that my Dad makes – delicious!
My go-to rhubarb recipe is rhubarb & raspberry muffins
Hmmm – might be time to contemplate planting rhubarb – a whole heap of the garden just became available.
hi, this looks amazing, am going to try it as soon as poss…. What temperature do you bake it at please?
I’m sorry, this is an old post so I just used the term ‘moderate oven’ which translates to around 175° C (350° F) .
Hope that helps.
