RHUBARB "BIG CRUMB" COFFEECAKE



Rhubarb

Rhubarb is an alarmingly sour vegetable passed off as a fruit, but requiring a huge mound of sugar to effect the transformation. Crumb cake is a huge mound of sugar disguised as a cake, but demanding a bracing counterpoint to allay its cloying sweetness. In this cake, the two strike a perfect balance. The extra-large crumbs are made by pinching off marbles of brown sugar dough by hand. It takes a bit more time than pulsing the ingredients in a food processor, but the result is worth the extra effort.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Butter, for greasing pan
1/2 pound rhubarb, trimmed
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cups cake flour
1/3 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons softened butter, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8-inch-square baking pan. For filling, slice rhubarb 1/2 inch thick and toss with sugar, cornstarch and ginger. Set aside.
  • To make crumbs, in a large bowl, whisk together sugars, spices, salt and butter until smooth. Stir in flour with a spatula. It will look like a solid dough.
  • To prepare cake, in a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add butter and a spoonful of sour cream mixture and mix on medium speed until flour is moistened. Increase speed and beat for 30 seconds. Add remaining sour cream mixture in two batches, beating for 20 seconds after each addition, and scraping down the sides of bowl with a spatula. Scoop out about 1/2 cup batter and set aside.
  • Scrape remaining batter into prepared pan. Spoon rhubarb over batter. Dollop set-aside batter over rhubarb; it does not have to be even.
  • Using your fingers, break topping mixture into big crumbs, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in size. They do not have to be uniform, but make sure most are around that size. Sprinkle over cake. Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean of batter (it might be moist from rhubarb), 45 to 55 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

RHUBARB BIG CRUMB COFFEECAKE



Rhubarb Big Crumb Coffeecake image

This is an incredibly moist and not too sweet coffeecake with huge cinnamon streusel crumbs. If you like crumb topping, this is the cake for you! The recipe is from The New York Times (June 2007). You could probably substitute other fruits (like berries) but if you would need to cut down the sugar accordingly.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb stalks should be firm and crisp, with bright red or pink color. Avoid stalks that are wilted, bruised, or have brown spots.
  • Prepare rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Then, cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Use a combination of sugars: This recipe uses both granulated sugar and brown sugar to create a moist and flavorful crumb topping. You can adjust the ratio of sugars to your liking, but be sure to use at least 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to help the crumb topping hold its shape.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the coffee cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. If the coffee cake is not fully baked, it will be dense and gummy.

Conclusion:

This rhubarb big crumb coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch treat. The combination of sweet rhubarb and crunchy crumb topping is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve the coffee cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for a truly special dessert.
