German Rhubarb Almond Cake: A Sweet Slice of Comfort When life gives you rhubarb, you make pie—or so they say. But have you ever tried a German Rhubarb Almond Cake? Trust me, it’s the kind of cake that makes you wonder why you’ve been settling for plain old apple desserts all these years. First off, let’s talk rhubarb. Rhubarb is that mysterious red stalk you see at the farmer’s market and think, What do I even do with this? It looks like celery dressed up for a party, but it’s tart—very tart.
