Time 55m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

3 cups diced rhubarb
1 Granny Smith apple -- peeled, cored and sliced into thin wedges
⅝ cup dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
½ lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon butter, diced
⅜ cup warm water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a shallow, 1-quart baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, combine melted butter and brioche. Line the bottom of the baking dish with one-third of the mixture.
  • In another bowl, combine rhubarb, apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice and zest. Let rest until juices begin to run, 5 minutes. Then spread half of the mixture over the brioche in the dish. Top with half the remaining brioche. Spread the remaining rhubarb over that and top with the last of the brioche. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter. Spoon the warm water evenly over the top.

FRENCH-STYLE APPLE RHUBARB CAKE



French-Style Apple Rhubarb Cake image

Made with a very thick vanilla batter, this rustic French dessert cake is simplicity at its best! Chunks of rhubarb are mixed in, and apple slices and sliced almonds are laid right on top. Rhubarb itself is a bit sour, but it makes for the perfect combination with this light and tasty cake. In French, this type of cake is called a 'Gateau Vite Fait' which basically means it can be quickly made!

RHUBARB OR APPLE CAKE



Rhubarb or Apple Cake image

This is a family recipe, and yes the ingredient amounts are correct. I got this recipe from my gran who got it somewhere else (i like to make it my own by adding 300g light brown sugar and 80g dark brown sugar). I have made it on numerous occasions and the reviews every time have been outstanding and i have had many comments such as the best cake i have ever eaten. Today our neighbour came around and tried it and said it is everything in one - moist, chewy, crunchy, soft, - she went on and on.
