About the Recipe:
The Icelandic Recipe Story: This as a not a wedding cake but a traditional cake baked later at home. The oat crust filled rhubarb jam simple cake is one of those recipes that is passed down from one family to another. It is believed that if a wife baked this for her husband, they would have a happy marriage, and the marriage like this cake just gets better with age. It sounds like a great recipe to make!
Cook’s Note: We found it hard to find the jam or raw rhubarb where we live but finally located some jam at a local organic store. Our jam was very thin so I think the baked product will vary depending on the consistency of the jam. I cut the recipe in half to reduce the fats and sugar in the original recipe and added walnuts for their Omega-3 goodness. Our dessert turned out like a cross between a crisp and cookie bar square. It tasted delicious and looked beautiful in the heart baking dish. The original recipe gives you a recipe to make the jam from fresh rhubarb, which is plentiful in Iceland.
