Method
-
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a deep 22cm square cake tin.
-
step 2
Scoop 2 tbsp of rhubarb compote out of the jar and keep aside for later.
-
step 3
Mix the flour, bicarb and ginger in a bowl. Put the sugars, eggs, oil and remaining compote from the jar in a separate bowl and whisk to combine. Gradually add the dry ingredients, beating until combined.
-
step 4
Spoon the mixture into the tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Keep an eye on it and cover the cake with foil for the final 5-10 minutes if it’s browning too much.
-
step 5
Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out the cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.
-
step 6
To make the icing, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla and reserved rhubarb compote. Chill until thickened, then spread over the top of the cake. Cut into squares to serve.
