1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

In another bowl, whisk eggs, then add sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla.
Stir wet mix into dry until smooth. Batter will be thick.
Spread half the batter into pan, then layer rhubarb on top. Dollop remaining batter over rhubarb.
For topping, mix almond flour, cinnamon, erythritol, and butter. Sprinkle over cake.
Bake for 30–40 minutes until golden and toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Store covered in fridge.
Use Greek yogurt if you don’t have sour cream.
Swap erythritol with monk fruit or allulose if preferred.
Let it rest before cutting—it holds together better.
