the other half of the mixture and mix well. Roll together to form a short crust
style dough. Add a splash of water if
you need to.
Grease a medium sized, rectangular baking
dish and press the dough down into it using the back of a spoon. Bake for
20mins at 180oC.
Chop your rhubarb into short pieces, put
into a baking tray, sprinkle with sugar and ginger and a splash of water and
add this to the oven for 15mins.
In the meantime make the fruity cake middle,
take the 2nd half of the breadcrumb mixture and take out 4 spoons of
crumble for the topping and save for later.
Using the rest of the mixture add the eggs,
the remaining 25g of flour, 1tsp of cinnamon and the baking powder. Mix until a
smooth.
Take the biscuit base out of the oven and
top with the cake mixture, add the rhubarb pieces and bake for 20mins more.
