SOUR CREAM RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE



Sour Cream Rhubarb Coffee Cake image

This is an 'any time of day' cake that my mom used to make. Good warm or cold, this cake is incredibly moist inside, while the surface has a tiny bit of crisp from the sugar granules. Tangy rhubarb and sour cream are offset by the sweet cake and sugar sprinkle. It is DE-lish!

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb stalks should be firm and crisp, with bright red or pink color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Cut rhubarb into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a combination of sugars: This will help create a more complex flavor. Brown sugar adds a rich molasses flavor, while granulated sugar adds sweetness and helps the cake to rise.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

This quick rhubarb coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. The combination of tart rhubarb and sweet streusel topping is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make this cake perfectly every time. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try!
