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
1 large egg
1 cup almond flour
¾ cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
⅔ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb and sugar for topping in a large bowl. Mix to combine and set aside for about 1 hour to allow the rhubarb to draw juice.
  • Beat butter and sugar for base until light and fluffy. Add flour, wine, baking powder, and egg; swiftly knead until it comes together to form a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan.
  • Roll out the base on a lightly floured surface into a circle slightly larger than the diameter of the cake pan. Transfer to the prepared cake pan, letting the dough come up the sides by about 1 inch.
  • Drain rhubarb topping and evenly scatter over the base.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile beat together almond flour, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons creme fraiche, sugar, eggs, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon for almond custard until smooth.

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 22

12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup almond flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
7 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons sweet dessert wine, such as Sauternes or Beaumes-de-Venise
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, and seeds scraped to loosen
1 3/4 cups whole milk
Freshly grated zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 tablespoons sliced blanched almonds
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce, for serving (recipe follows)
Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce
12 ounces rhubarb (6 to 8 stalks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
6 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups strawberries (8 ounces), hulled and halved
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
(makes 2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Cut a 9-inch round of parchment paper to line the bottom of a 9 × 2-inch round cake pan. Butter and line the pan. Butter the lining, then flour the pan, tapping out excess; set aside.
  • Make the dough: Whisk together 2 1/4 cups flour and the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Put the butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add 3 egg yolks, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add the wine, almond extract, and half the vanilla seeds; mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, mixing until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Divide the dough in half, and flatten each piece into a disk. Wrap the disks in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Make the custard filling: Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Fit an electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Put 3 egg yolks and the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar in a clean mixing bowl; beat on medium speed until pale yellow and thickened. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons flour; beat on low speed until combined.
  • Bring the milk, remaining vanilla seeds, and zest to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, and beat on medium-low speed until combined. Stir the mixture into the remaining milk in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to reach the bottom and sides of the pan. Cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Set the pan in the ice-water bath; stir occasionally until cool, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Press 1 piece of dough onto the bottom of the prepared pan and 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Spoon the custard on top, and spread into an even layer.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining dough into an 11-inch circle. Drape over the pan; trim the edges flush with the pan. Gently press the edges of the top crust to meet the bottom crust; crimp the top edges with a fork to seal. Refrigerate the cake 30 minutes.
  • Beat the remaining egg yolk and the cream in a small bowl. Brush the top of the cake with egg wash; sprinkle with almonds. Bake until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Invert the cake to unmold; peel off the parchment, and reinvert. Just before serving, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar. Serve with the strawberry-rhubarb sauce.
  • Strawberry-Rhubarb Sauce
  • Bring the rhubarb, sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in the strawberries and vanilla; cook until the berries are softened, about 3 minutes more. Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature.

RHUBARB & CUSTARD CAKE



Rhubarb & custard cake image

This recipe tastes even better with homegrown rhubarb

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1quantity Barney's roasted rhubarb (see recipe, below method)
250g pack butter , softened, plus extra for greasing
150g pot ready-made custard (not the chilled kind; I used Ambrosia)
250g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g golden caster sugar
icing sugar , for dusting

Steps:

  • Make the roasted rhubarb first, carefully draining off the juices before you let it cool. Butter and line a 23cm loose-bottomed or springform cake tin. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  • Reserve 3 tbsp of the custard in a bowl. Beat the rest of the custard together with the butter, flour, baking powder, eggs, vanilla and sugar until creamy and smooth. Spoon one-third of the mix into the tin, add some of the rhubarb, then dot with one-third more cake mix and spread it out as well as you can. Top with some more rhubarb, then spoon over the remaining cake mix, leaving it in rough mounds and dips rather than being too neat about it. Scatter the rest of the rhubarb over the batter, then dot the remaining custard over. Bake for 40 mins until risen and golden, then cover with foil and bake for 15-20 mins more. It's ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then dredge with icing sugar when cool.

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

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).

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.
  • Do Ahead
  • Cake can be baked 3 days ahead. Keep tightly wrapped at room temperature.
