Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

⅔ cup sugar

2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cold butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan; stir in rhubarb and strawberries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about two minutes. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and let cool.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm rhubarb: Look for stalks that are bright red and have a firm texture. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb stalks thoroughly and cut them into 1/2-inch pieces. If the rhubarb is very tart, you can sprinkle it with sugar and let it sit for a few minutes before adding it to the cake batter.
  • Use a combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, which gives the cake a delicious flavor and texture. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. If the cake is not done baking, continue to bake it for a few more minutes.

Conclusion:

This rhubarb streusel coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast or brunch. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy rhubarb filling. The streusel topping adds a delicious crunchy texture. This recipe is a great way to use up fresh rhubarb, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
