I used the last of my frozen rhubarb to make this.  We LOVED it!  Served it with cool whip!

NORWEGIAN RHUBARB CAKE

1/3 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup vegetable or neutral oil
1/4 cup milk
3 cups rhubarb, chopped
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, chopped
powdered sugar to top (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.  

Coat springform pan with cooking spray.

In stand mixer, whip egg whites to firm peaks

In separate large bowl, mix egg yolks, oil, milk, and mix with whisk.  Add in 1 1/2 cups of chopped rhubarb.  Using an immersion blender, blend rhubarb until incorporated into liquid.  Whisk in 1/3 c sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Add flour 1/4 cups at a time and mix well.  Fold in egg whites and gently mix.

Pour batter into springform container.   Add the rest of the  rhubarb uniformly and allow to sit on top.
Sprinkle 1/2 c sugar over the top evenly.    Evenly spread butter over top.
Bake 45 minutes.

Use a toothpick and place directly in center. If it comes out clean, remove. If not, bake for 5 more minutes and try again. Repeat until done.

Once done, cool for at least two hours.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
