Ingredients

Oat crumble:
25g rolled oats
25g plain or spelt flour
25g light muscovado or coconut sugar
25g butter, softened
Generous pinch sea salt

Cake:
100g light muscovado or coconut sugar
100g honey
150g butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 free-range eggs
150g plain or spelt flour
50g ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
3/4 cup unsweetened Greek yoghurt
2 large stems rhubarb, cut into 1cm cubes (about 200g)

Topping:
3 tbsp liquid honey
A few fresh rose buds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease or line 10 holes of a large cupcake or muffin tray.

First, make the crumble mixture. Put all ingredients into a bowl and rub together with your fingers until a coarse breadcrumb texture is reached. Set aside.

Next, make the cake batter. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sugar, honey, butter and vanilla until pale, light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Gradually fold through the flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stop your mixer once everything is just combined, being careful not to over mix. Finally, fold through the yoghurt.

Evenly divide the batter between the muffin holes and dot in the rhubarb pieces, pressing them down lightly. Finally, evenly scatter over the oat crumble topping.

Bake for approx 30 min or until springy to the touch and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 10 min before turning out onto a cooling rack.

While the cakes are still warm, drizzle with some liquid honey and decorate each cake with a rose.

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!
