danish rhubarb marzipan cakes (rabarberkage)

Inspired by the treats at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, these individual cakes feature a buttery pastry shell filled with rich almond marzipan cream and tart rhubarb compote. They are best served warm with a generous dollop of cool crème fraîche to balance the sweetness.
