Fruity, moist, fluffy tastes this rhubarb pound cake. It is ideal for the rhubarb season. You can quickly and easily make it yourself. A detailed rhubarb pound cake recipe with exact quantities and step-by-step instructions can be found below.
The best moist and quick rhubarb cake
This rhubarb pound cake is one of the most delicious I have ever tasted. It tastes very moist, fluffy, soft and buttery at the same time. Moreover, it has a fruity taste thanks to rhubarb. The sweet pound cake combines perfectly with the tart rhubarb.
In addition, the cake is ready very quickly. Since the recipe is a pound cake, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together and put it in the oven.
During the rhubarb season, also try my rhubarb piroshki, rhubarb sour cream cake and rhubarb lemonade.
How to make the batter?
When preparing the batter for the rhubarb cake, you have to keep a few things in mind so that the cake later tastes moist, fluffy and soft.
First, butter and sugar must be thoroughly whipped. This takes about 5 – 10 minutes. If you do it with a food processor, you should turn it off from time to time and collect the butter mixture from the edge of the mixing bowl to the center with the help of a silicone dough scraper. The mixture is ready when it has acquired an airy creamy consistency and white color.
Now continue with the eggs. You need to add them one by one to the butter mixture and whip it briefly after each egg to a homogeneous mass. Ideally, eggs, just like butter, should be room warm. This allows the sugar to dissolve more quickly.
After you have added flour with baking powder to the egg butter mixture, do not stir the batter for a long time. Mix all ingredients only briefly to a homogeneous mass.
Rhubarb pound cake in springform tin
I baked the rhubarb pound cake in a springform tin. The ingredients are enough for a Ø 24 cm or Ø 26 cm baking tin.
Alternatively, you can bake the cake in a rectangular springform tin or on a baking sheet. In this case, you may have to adjust the amount of ingredients in the recipe.
How to serve it?
The rhubarb pound cake is delicious on its own. Serve it for dessert with a cup of coffee or tea.
The rhubarb cake is also especially delicious with vanilla ice cream, for example with the plombir ice cream, or with the strawberry yogurt ice cream. You can also enjoy it with a vanilla sauce or with the strawberry syrup.

How to make rhubarb pound cake: tips and tricks
- Do not mix the batter too long, but only briefly until a homogeneous consistency, after you have added flour with baking powder to the other ingredients.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to taste. Take into account that rhubarb tastes quite sour.
- The baking time indicated in the recipe may vary. Use a wooden skewer to check if the cake is baked. Insert the wooden skewer briefly into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the rhubarb cake is done. If the wooden skewer gets smeared in raw batter, you’ll need to bake the cake a few more minutes.
