Method
Simmer the rhubarb in a pan with orange juice and zest until soft and sticky, then leave to cool.
Line a 22cm fluted cake tin with the pastry, trim and chill. Heat oven to 220C, gas 7. Line the pastry case with baking paper, fill with baking beans and bake for 12-15 mins. Remove beans and return to the oven for 3-4 mins, if needed. Reduce the heat to 190C, gas 5.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and whisk. Fold in the ground almonds and ground ginger.
Spoon the rhubarb mix into the pastry case, top with the almond mix and sprinkle over flaked almonds. Bake for 35-40 mins until golden and springy.
Meanwhile, stir the ginger syrup into the cream and top with stem ginger. Dust the tart with icing sugar and serve with the ginger cream.
