For the chocolate fudge cake
Preheat your oven to 325F/160C
Break up the chocolate into squares and put it in the food processor along with butter, sugar, almonds, cocoa powder and salt. Pulse until smooth. With the motor still running crack one egg at a time, then add flour and baking powder.
Grease a rectangular 9×13 baking dish and dust it with a bit of cocoa powder. Pour the cake batter into the pan and scatter the fudge pieces all over it. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Alternatively you can bake it in a deep 9" cake pan or a casserole dish for 30 minutes.
For the stewed rhubarb
Cut washed rhubarb stalks into ½" pieces and combine with sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over very low heat until rhubarb releases juice, then cover with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes longer.
Serve the cake with whipped cream and stewed rhubarb.
