Rhubarb is probably one of the hardiest plants, especially in northern states like mine. It has a tart taste to it, which we really enjoy in our family. Every time I've served this torte to someone who's never had it before, I wind up writing out the recipe for them - and it's my pleasure to share it!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup cold butter
2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
Whipped cream

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, confectioners' sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat into a 11x7-in. baking dish. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, sugar, baking powder and remaining flour. Fold in rhubarb and spread over crust. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool. Serve with whipped cream.
