Skinny Ginger Rhubarb Cake, gluten free, grain free

This tender Gluten Free and Grain Free Cake is made with rhubarb, ginger and orange. It goes perfectly with a cup of Chai tea!  I eat it warmed up the next morning with my homemade Greek yogurt for breakfast or at night with a scoop of frozen yogurt. The flavors get stronger when it sits overnight and it's awesome. It's made with a single economical flour that's organic, grain free and high in protein! 

I was so excited to get rhubarb in my box from Space Girl Organics.  I couldn't wait to make it into a new recipe.  If you can't have legumes then try using your rhubarb in my families favorite Millet Cake. I think it would be great with strawberries too!

The bean flour dough won't taste good but don't judge the cake by that. All bean flavor goes away with baking. We don't like our cakes too sweet so add a little more sugar if you do.  Enjoy.

Ingredients:

1. In the large bowl of your mixer, cream the butter and honey until pale and fluffy. Mixing on low, add one egg at a time. Stir in vanilla, ginger and orange zest. Add curdled milk and stir. 
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and psyllium husks. With the mixer running on medium, slowly add the flour to the wet ingredients.
