Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes one 13 3/4-by-4 1/4-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
5 ounces rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (scant 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of coarse salt

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 13 3/4-by-4 1/4-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, and set aside. Combine the rhubarb and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl, and allow to sit, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has released its juice and the sugar has dissolved, about 45 minutes.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl; set aside. Cream the butter with 2/3 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape seeds from pod, and add seeds to the mixture. Beat to combine. Add reserved flour mixture, and beat to combine. Using a rubber spatula, spoon batter into the prepared pan, and spread flat.
  • Strain rhubarb, discarding juice; add blackberries, and toss to combine. Spoon fruit on top of the batter in the pan, sprinkle with remaining tablespoon sugar, place in the oven, and bake until the cake is golden and center is set, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven, and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before removing tart pan.

EASY SNACK CAKE



Easy Snack Cake image

I needed SOMEthing sweet for an afternoon snack and modified a shortbread recipe to come up with this. It's not chocolate, but I have used vanilla instead of lemon, omitted the peel and added about 1/2 cup chocolate chips because that was the only chocolate in the house.

Tips:

- For a gluten-free cake, use gluten-free flour. - For a vegan cake, use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water) instead of a regular egg. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor. - If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use a 10-inch bundt pan or two 8-inch round baking pans. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. - For a creamier frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk. - If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make your own by grinding granulated sugar in a food processor or blender. - Decorate the cake with additional blackberries, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
