rukkirabarber 1(12)Simple and delicious cake for people, who do not want or like very sweet cakes.

Bitterness of the rye and chocolate , tart rhubarb and crunchy nuts creating wonderful combination.

Rye flour and quark make this cake lighter and healthier

And make quark by yourself. Trust me : It is much simpler to make than you might think. I won’t tell if you don’t 😉
