Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the springform pan with butter and dust with flour.
  2. Wash and cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces. Toss with a tablespoon of sugar and let sit for 15 minutes.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Combine with the butter mixture, alternating with milk.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange rhubarb on top, pressing lightly into the batter.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Monitor in the final minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove the springform ring and cool completely on a wire rack.
