A delicious tea time cake/tart with a tangy rhubarb filling topped with nutty and buttery streusel. Serve it warm, if desired, with ice cream or vanilla sauce.

- To prepare the base. Place flour, sugar, salt, egg yolk, butter and cold water in a mixing bowl. Stir with a hand mixer attached with dough hooks until the mixture comes together. Form it into a ball and chill, wrapped with a cling film, for 30 minutes.
- Clean and trim rhubarb, removing any leaves. Cut the rhubarb stalks into 1cm pieces. Crush the ladyfingers until fine crumbs form. In a mixing bowl, mix together 100 grams sugar, flour, ground almond, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut in butter to form crumbs. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Butter a 26cm tart dish or line with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 32cm round between two sheets of parchment paper and place it into the tart dish. Sprinkle the crumbled ladyfingers at the bottom of the tart, scatter over the rhubarb pieces, and then sprinkle on brown sugar evenly. Now cover it with streusel topping. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 45 minutes until nicely golden brown.

Beautiful tart. I've never actually made anything with rhubarb...but this sooo tempts me to give it a whirl. Perfect for a breakfast/brunch.
WOW.. the tart look divine.. so clean..
This time I clicked over from Foodbuzz, and buzzed your Rhubarb Streusel Cake which is unusual and beautiful. Our rhubarb in S. Florida is usually a ruby red color, and most of the time we mix it with strawberries to make a pie with. I will have try your cake recipe with the rhubarb, and chances are it will turn out pink on the inside!
Love the streusel topping!
Happy Easter, Angie!

Mmm just discovered rhubarb last year but only toward the end of the season, so I'm super excited spring is here now to get a whole season to play with this lovely ingredient. It's fantastic with streusel, so I know your cake must be amazing :).
delicious looking cake flavourful addition of almonds on the streusel
Angie - I need to run outside in the chilly rain and see if my rhubarb has come up. Perfect. perfect, pefect. I will be doing this - even if I have to wait until July!
looks great my Dad would adore it he grows rhubarb
I love rhubarb and streusel topping is always a winner. This sounds like a heavenly treat Angie!

Never seen let alone had rhubarb..lol! Looks scrumptious!
I have yet to try rhubarb. Could not find any! Your tart certainly looks really good! Wish I could have a slice!
Rhubarb isn't something new to me but have yet tried it personally. According to some info, rhubarb is actually under the catergory of fruits. Funny huh..since it looks more to a green vege. Thanks for the recipe. Haapy Easter Day!

This cake sounds so light and delicate, yet counterbalanced by the rustic feel of the rhubarb. It is masterfully done! Bravo Angie and a happy holiday to you and your family.
I have never tasted this..It sure looks yum! Awesome clicks as usual..

Again a wonderful dish. So good...
I must get my hands on rhubarb like immediately!! This streusel looks amazing :)
Lovely! The streusal topping is calling my name...
You know, I have never cooked with rhubarb, nor have ever eaten it. Everyone tells me I have to try it and how great it tastes in baked goods, and after looking at this recipe, I know I have got to get out there and get my hands on some!
this is great, angie--no longer does rhubarb have to play second fiddle to strawberries! :)
I have never had rubarb , so very curious about how they taste
Looks yummy! Crispy topping and tart filling <3
This is absolutely perfect for an afternoon cup of tea!
I love love love rhubarb! This reminds me that it should be ready soon in my parent's garden. I should call them up to make sure I get some. The cake looks delicious and would be great at my next book club meeting.
That looks delicious! I love rhubarb so this is gonna be a winner!
I love streusel and I love rhubarb and this is just such a perfect cake!
Angie, what a delicious way to use rhubarb! And it would indeed go beautifully with a cup of tea (a requirement for everything I bake!). I'll definitely be making this.
Lovely use for rhubarb...the cake looks delicious and is just perfect for spring!
That looks stunning!..love how well it looks
I made Rhubarb Pie last summer and we still have rhubarb in our garden - waiting for the stalks to turn red. Your cake/tart looks delicious, esp. with the crumbly streusel topping!
Gorgeous treat Angie. I'd love a slice with a big dollop of fresh cream.
Thanks for the recipe i messed it up last time...looks great :)
Rhubarb season is on its way, this looks like a delicious way to enjoy it.

Beautiful tart! I love rhubarb, need to look it up next time in the grocery store :-). Thanks for sharing!
By the way, I love your site layout, I am not sure if it's new, but I have not noticed it before :-) and your recent photos are really professional!
I love rhubarb! My mother always grew it in her garden and made fabulous sauce. What a gorgeous and ingenious way to make this delicious cake.
This cake looks delicious!I have never tried rhubarb, I must give it a try!
If only I could have a slice now, rhubarb is impossible to find here, unfortunately, or I'd try making it soon myself.
Angie, this rhubarb pie looks delicious. Awesome.

Congratulations on making Top 9 on Food buzz!! :)
What a beautiful cake Angie! Can you believe I am one who has never eaten rhubarb? What a mistake that is!
What a BEAUTIFUL tart! You have so many wonderful recipes! I don't know where to start! : )
I Love LOVE rhubarb - it really brings me back to my childhood when I used to spend long summers in Sweden. I'm not sure if I can get rhubarb here in Mexico...but will be keeping my eyes open! Thanks for awakening some old memories!
rhubarb is not common here and whenever I see it at gourmet supermarkets, I often wonder how best to use it... your cake looks just perfect and so beautiful :)
Cake looks truly marvellous and excellent..
Trust you Angie to always come up with mouthwatering recipes!
WOW that is a stunning pie! Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm so excited to be seeing rhubarb again! This is a delightful combination...love the streusel on top. Delicious :D
Gorgeous! I am in love with crumb toppings, it's easily one of the most addictive things--among many others. :) Thanks for sharing!
This cake is irresistible!!!
Oh gosh, I have to try this! But I doubt can get rhubarb here. Can I replace with strawberries or granny smiths? Thanks for the llyre recipe Angie!
@Honey Bee Sweets
Yeah, tart green apples would be great as well.
Angie this cake is beautiful! Gorgeous photos, and looks delicious as well! You have just the right amount of crumble topping and tart filling! I can't wait until I have access to rhubarb here!
Great use of rhubard. I would never think of using it.
What a wonderful cake. I'd love a slice!
Beautiful job with the cake. I love the tartness that rhubarb lends to sweet desserts. And that crumble, wow. This is on my to do list!
I've been meaning to comment more on your lovely recipes lately but until today I've been having a computer glitch. I've missed a lot!
This rhubarb streusel looks super good and doesn't sound too difficult to make. I'm going to look for the ingredients and try it!
This tart looks so good, I have not had rhubarb in such a long time. Lovely!
That is one absolutely lovely slice of cake daaaaahling. I'd love a slice of this with my cup of tea!
*kisses* HH
Angie, rhubarb is one of my favorites, and I know I would LOVE this! Looks beautiful and delicous!!!
Life has been chilly here in the northeastern United States and my rhubarb is just coming up, but I was so glad to find your recipe. Definitely going to make a batch when it is all the way up - this and of course a traditional rhubarb jam!!
I have incredibly cherishable memories of my 'Nonno' growing rhubarb for me and creating all kinds of treats with it. Unfortunately, since Hubby is really not a fan, I somewhat abandoned it...sigh.
Angie, this cake looks scrumptious ;o)
Ciao for now,
Claudia
wow! this is beautiful and looks delicious!
I love rhubarb in any sweet. Your crumble looks gorgeous and golden. I would love a piece right now with my morning coffee. Yep, dessert for breakfast is absolutely fine by me.
This reminds me of a rhubarb pie with streusel topping that my mom makes. Delicious!
Great looking cake, I love streusel topping cakes whatever the filling is. I really like your light-filled pictures, Angie!
DROOLWORTHY! Because I am rendered speechless :)
