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!

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups white sugar
1 stick butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups diced rhubarb
1 apple, thinly sliced
⅓ cup sliced almonds, or to taste
1 pinch white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round pan.
  • Beat 1 1/4 cups sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until well blended, light, and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  • Turn mixer to low speed and slowly add in flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined. Fold in rhubarb.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top and place apple slices in a circular pattern on batter. Sprinkle almonds and additional sugar on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool, and serve warm or cold.

This recipe needs more sugar. It was too tart for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dense and gummy. I won't be making this again.

This cake was a disappointment. The streusel topping was dry and the cake was bland.

I've tried many apple rhubarb cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The streusel topping is out of this world!
