Oma's German Streusel Rhubarb Cake (Rhabarberkuchen mit Streusel)

German Streusel Rhubarb Cake (Rhabarberkuchen mit Streusel) was a sweet treat Mutti often made. Now I bake it just like she did, buttery and so lecker!

Ingredients:

• 1¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 cup (100 g) ground almonds or almond flour
• ⅔ cup (135 g) granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) almond extract
• 1 cup (225 g) cold butter, cubed
• 1 pound (about 450 g) rhubarb, trimmed and cut into ½-inch slices

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a teaspoon of the butter and grease a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan.
2. Place all the ingredients, except the rhubarb, into a mixing bowl. Using the mixer on low speed, mix until a crumbly mixture results. Or, mix with your hands until crumbly.
3. Press half the crumbles (streusel) into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust. Place the rhubarb slices on top. Crumble the remaining streusel over the top.
4. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown.

Notes/Hints:

• Serve with whipped cream or ice cream on the side.
• If you've extra rhubarb, you can always make some rhubarb pudding, a favorite in northern Germany.
