In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce and mix well.

In another bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until well combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the unsweetened almond milk into the batter and fold in until smooth.

Step 7

Gently fold the sliced rhubarb into the batter, ensuring even distribution.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
