Ingredients

For the cake, you will need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 cups diced rhubarb

For the custard, you will need:

2 cups whole milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Making the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract, orange juice, and yogurt and beat until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until everything is just combined. Fold in the rhubarb and pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Making the Custard

While the cake is baking, make the custard. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Pour the custard into a bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Allow to cool.

Assembling the Cake

Once the cake and custard have cooled, it’s time to assemble the cake. Place the cake on a serving plate or platter. Pour the custard over the cake, spreading it out evenly. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
