Time 2h40m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
3 stalks rhubarb (about 7 1/2 ounces), sliced 1/8 inch thick (about 3 cups)

Steps:

  • For the crumb topping: Combined the flour, brown sugar, oats, ginger, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers. Set aside.
  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the Greek yogurt in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour and beating until just incorporated. Fold in the rhubarb using a rubber spatula. Take care not to overmix the batter.
  • Spoon the batter (it will be thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Sprinkle on the crumb topping, distributing it evenly.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for rhubarb that is firm and has a deep red color. Avoid rhubarb that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Remove any leaves or tough ends.
  • Use a combination of sugars: This recipe uses both granulated sugar and brown sugar to create a complex flavor. You can also add a little honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45-50 minutes. Don't overbake the cake, or it will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This heavenly rhubarb cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rhubarb gives the cake a tart and tangy flavor that is balanced out by the sweetness of the sugar and frosting. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
