Torte, actually:

Ingredients for crust:

½ cup butter (softened)

1 cup flour

5 Tbsp powdered sugar

Crust preparation:

Mix and press into the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Having moist fingers makes pressing the sticky dough out much easier. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Ingredients for filling:

2 eggs

¾ to 1 ¼ cup sugar (according to your taste)

2 Tbsp flour

½ tsp salt

½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

3 cup (approx 1#) rhubarb, diced

Filling preparation:

Mix eggs with sugar. Then add flour, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix well. When crust has finished baking, sprinkle rhubarb over crust. Pour egg mixture evenly over rhubarb. Bake 40-45 minutes more at 350 degrees. Serve warm or chilled.
