RHUBARB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C / 350°F Grease a 20cm / 8in cake pan, preferably loose-bottomed or springform. If you don't have one, use a regular cake pan but grease very well, line the bottom with a circle or parchment paper, and grease again.
• Trim the rhubarb and chop into pieces a couple of inches long. Put in a baking dish with the sugar and water and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft but still retains its shape. Drain the fruit and set aside you can reserve the juice to serve with the cake if you wish.
• Put the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar in a large bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Add the grated zest and the butter. If using your hands, rub the butter in as if making pastry - until the mixture resembles large crumbs. If using a food processor you just need to blitz for a few seconds, and if using a stand mixer, mix on low to medium speed for about 30 seconds.
• Break the egg into a small bowl and mix with the milk. Now add slowly to the crumble mix, stopping as soon as everything has come together to form a soft, sticky dough. You may not need all the liquid, or you may need a little more milk to get the right consistency.
• Press about two thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the cake pan, pushing a couple of centimetres up the sides of the pan. Place the rhubarb on top, being careful to leave a small rim around the edges uncovered. Crumble the rest of the mixture over the fruit in fat lumps, using your fingers - don't worry if the fruit isn't all covered. Scatter over the brown sugar.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cool the cake a little before removing from the pan.

RHUBARB BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
• Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
• Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.
