Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups peeled and chopped rhubarb
¾ cup white sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white wine
2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons creme fraiche
⅔ cup white sugar

Categories     Cake     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Almond     Spring     Rhubarb     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for pan
1 pound rhubarb stalks, trimmed
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup blanched almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Special Equipment
One 11x8" tart pan or one 9"-diameter tart pan with removable bottom.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter tart pan and sprinkle with sugar, tapping out excess. Slice rhubarb in half lengthwise (quarter if very large). Set 8 of the prettiest pieces aside for the top of the cake; chop remaining rhubarb into 1/2" pieces. Pulse flour, almonds, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until almonds are finely ground (texture should be sandy).
  • Place 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; reserve pod for another use. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to blend first egg before adding second. Beat until mixture is pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  • Reduce speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, followed by yogurt. Beat, scraping down the sides of bowl as needed, just to combine (batter will be thick). Fold in chopped rhubarb and scrape batter into prepared pan. Smooth batter and arrange reserved rhubarb over top; sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar.
  • Place tart pan on a large rimmed baking sheet (to catch any rogue juices) and bake, rotating once, until cake is golden brown and rhubarb on top is soft and beginning to brown, 70-80 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cake cool before removing from pan.

ALMOND RHUBARB CAKE

Provided by Janice Martinez

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 19

CAKE
1 1/4 c cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c almond paste
1 c butter, unsalted softened
3/4 c sugar
3 eggs room temperature
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c rhubarb, sliced 1/2 inch
ALMOND CRUNCH
1 egg white
2/3 c almonds, sliced
1 Tbsp sugar
dash salt
GLAZE
6 Tbsp powdered sugar
2 1/2 - 3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp almond extract

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9x2-inch round baking pan with cooking spray. Line bottom with parchment paper; spray paper. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl.
  • 2. Beat almond paste in large bowl at medium to medium-high speed 1 to 2 minutes or until crumbled. Add butter and 3/4 cup sugar; beat at medium speed 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
  • 3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until combined. Increase speed to medium; beat 30 seconds. Spread in pan; top with rhubarb.
  • 4. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; invert cake onto wire rack. Remove parchment paper; turn cake top-side up. Cool completely.
  • 5. Meanwhile, coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk egg white in small bowl until frothy. Stir in remaining almond crunch ingredients; spread on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Cool completely on wire rack.
  • 6. Whisk powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cream and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract in small bowl until smooth, adding additional cream 1/2 teaspoon at a time to desired glaze consistency.
  • 7. Drizzle glaze over top and sides of cake; top with almond crunch. Let stand until glaze is set.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, plump stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown or black spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim the ends. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Rhubarb can become mushy if it's cooked for too long. Cook it just until it's tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a combination of sugars: A combination of white sugar and brown sugar gives the cake a more complex flavor. You can also use honey or maple syrup as a natural sweetener.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb almond cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its combination of tart rhubarb and sweet almond flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
