For this version, I added wholemeal flour and reduced the sugar slightly, so the cake isn\u2019t overly sweet. Of course, if you prefer classic bakes, feel free to add a little more sugar\u2014adjust the sweetness to your liking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to peel rhubarb for baking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not necessarily! Young rhubarb has a thin, delicate skin that you can leave on \u2013 this helps retain its lovely pink colour. However, if the rhubarb is more mature and has thick, fibrous skin, it\u2019s best to peel it to avoid tough, stringy pieces in the cake. The easiest way to do this is by gently lifting the skin with a knife and peeling it away. When cutting, you\u2019ll quickly notice whether the skin is tough \u2013 if it starts peeling off on its own, it\u2019s a good sign that it should be removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which parts of rhubarb are edible? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Important! Only the stalks (technically, the leaf petioles) are edible. Other parts of the plant, including the leaves, contain high levels of calcium oxalates and should be discarded! Rhubarb is best enjoyed from April to July, as oxalate levels increase later in the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
