Week 19 | May 06 | Freedom Meal De Gymzaal & Toverbosch Summer Location

Dear people of Lekkernassûh,

This week, the rhubarb makes a special appearance, and what better than a cake to share with friends at the beach, or at a potluck dinner? For this (vegan) rhubarb cake, clean and cut the rhubarb in small pieces. Preheat the oven at 180 degrees, and in the meantime, mix together 240g of white flour, 200g of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and half a teaspoon of baking soda. In a different bowl, mix 200mL of (plant-based) milk, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Then, gently incorporate the liquid mix with the dry mix, without overmixing. Fold in the rhubarb chunks, with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and/or chocolate sprinkles (to taste). Apple cubes from the fruit package could also be delicious there! Then, pour the batter in a greased round tin, and back for approximately 45-50min. Let the cake cool down, and enjoy!

Don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8pm, if needed. Enjoy!
