About the dish

Rhubarb tart shows how rhubarb was used in cakes and desserts in the book, here with a custard of soured cream.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Make the base

    Work the flour, butter, egg, sugar, baking powder and vanilla sugar together into a dough. Let it rest for ½ hour. Roll it out fairly thick and lay it in a greased cake tin.

  2. 2

    Bake the base

    Bake the base pale yellow in a hot oven and let it cool.

  3. 3

    Make the custard

    Mix the egg yolks, soured cream and sugar. Whisk over heat until the custard thickens well. Cool, then fold in the stiffly whisked egg whites.

  4. 4

    Fill and bake

    Put rhubarb compote in the tin and cover with the custard. Bake quite lightly, until pale golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Dust with sugar. Serve with whipped cream if you like.

Changes from the original

Tablespoons are written as tbsp, and ¾ l is converted to dl. The text gives no oven temperature and none is added. The "egg yolk" in the custard is read as the yolks of the three eggs.
