STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE



Strawberry-Rhubarb Coffee Cake image

The batter for this coffee cake recipe is much like that for a biscuit; chilled butter is cut in rather than creamed, which produces an uber-tender crumb. This recipe was developed by Emily Donahue for Rosey's Coffee and Tea in Hanover, New Hampshire.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups chilled unsalted butter, plus more, softened, for pan
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 3/4 cups sugar
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-by-12-by-3-inch baking pan with butter, and set aside. Make fruit sauce: Combine lemon juice, cornstarch, and 1 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Add strawberries and rhubarb; cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat, until rhubarb is soft and liquid has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl; let cool.
  • Make the crumb topping: Combine 3/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup flour in a medium bowl. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Drizzle butter over flour mixture; using your hands, mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  • Make cake batter: Whisk together remaining 3 cups flour and 1 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry knife or two forks, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture; stir to combine.
  • Spread half the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top with half the fruit sauce. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the fruit, and top with the remaining fruit sauce. Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
  • Bake until cake is golden brown and springs back when touched in the center, about 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares.

GRANDMA MOYER'S RHUBARB AND STRAWBERRY COFFEE CAKE



Grandma Moyer's Rhubarb and Strawberry Coffee Cake image

This was my Grandma Moyer's recipe. It has been missing since at least the mid 80's. I found it stuck the middle of an old book I got after my mom passed away. Everyone in the family has been trying to recreate this delicious coffee cake for years. It is moist and very flavorful. I added the strawberries because I like it a little sweeter. Rhubarb is an ingredient that you don't see used very often any more, but those of us who do use it always love to find new ways to spread the love.

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Select firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Rinse the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and trim off the ends. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense coffee cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is ideal for baking coffee cake because it allows for even cooking and creates a beautiful presentation.
  • Don't overbake the coffee cake: The coffee cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
