FRENCH-STYLE APPLE RHUBARB CAKE



French-Style Apple Rhubarb Cake image

Made with a very thick vanilla batter, this rustic French dessert cake is simplicity at its best! Chunks of rhubarb are mixed in, and apple slices and sliced almonds are laid right on top. Rhubarb itself is a bit sour, but it makes for the perfect combination with this light and tasty cake. In French, this type of cake is called a 'Gateau Vite Fait' which basically means it can be quickly made!

RHUBARB OR APPLE CAKE



Rhubarb or Apple Cake image

This is a family recipe, and yes the ingredient amounts are correct. I got this recipe from my gran who got it somewhere else (i like to make it my own by adding 300g light brown sugar and 80g dark brown sugar). I have made it on numerous occasions and the reviews every time have been outstanding and i have had many comments such as the best cake i have ever eaten. Today our neighbour came around and tried it and said it is everything in one - moist, chewy, crunchy, soft, - she went on and on.

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter and the sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the honey/syrup.
  • Stir in the flour and baking powder. Finely chop the stem ginger and add this to the mixture, along with the chopped fruit. Stir it all in, it should form a nice, gloopy batter.
  • Pour the mixture into a medium sized baking tray (for a tray-bake style cake) or a cake tin (for a more traditional circular cake).
  • Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees celcius for 1 hour and 15 minutes. When cooked, a knife inserted into the centre should come out clean. Take the tray/tin out of the oven and leave to cool before cutting into square or slices. Enjoy with a cup of tea mid afternoon, or warm with custard for pudding!

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Use firm, bright red stalks of rhubarb. Avoid stalks that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Cut the rhubarb into 1-inch pieces and remove any leaves or blemishes.
  • Use a combination of apples and rhubarb: This will give your cake a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the apples and rhubarb: You want them to be tender but still retain their shape.
  • Use a good quality cake mix: This will ensure that your cake is light and fluffy.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps, as this could result in a dry or dense cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
