STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CAKE



Strawberry Rhubarb Cake image

Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb are a perfect match in this simple cake.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Dessert

Time 57m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour (see note below for gluten-free alternative)
2 cups strawberries, washed and dried as much as possible, chopped very small
1 cup rhubarb, thinly sliced and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip or shorten this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Add the rhubarb and strawberries and stir to mix throughout.
  • Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. (This is my favorite pan.) Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (43 minutes typically works for me.) Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. Enjoy!

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.

Tips:

  • Fresh rhubarb and strawberries deliver the best flavor, but frozen fruit can be used in a pinch. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before measuring.
  • To ensure even baking, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start baking the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a loaf pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This strawberry rhubarb loaf cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb and sweet and tangy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and refreshing dessert, give this strawberry rhubarb loaf cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
