Ingredients
Rhubarb
1/2 cup (diced and cooked)
Apple
1/2 cup (peeled, diced and cooked)
Low-fat margarine
100 g (softened)
Sugar
1 1/4 cups (granulated)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (pure)
Eggs
3 (large, at room temperature)

2 teaspoons (level)

1/8 teaspoon (fine)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit) and grease a 26 cm (10-inch) springform pan with a light coating of margarine or non-stick spray.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well incorporated, then set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the low-fat margarine and sugar together on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
4
Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
5
Lower the mixer speed and gradually add the flour mixture to the batter. Mix just until combined; be careful not to over-mix as this can affect the cake's texture.
6
Gently fold in the diced and cooked rhubarb and apples using a spatula, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
