Yield Makes 12 individual cakes

Number Of Ingredients 19

For topping
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 lb fresh rhubarb stalks, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
For cake batter
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup whole milk
Special Equipment
a nonstick muffin pan with 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter muffin cups and top of pan.
  • Make streusel for topping:
  • Whisk together flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips until mixture forms small clumps.
  • Make batter:
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and milk alternately in 2 batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture and mixing until just combined.
  • Top and bake cakes:
  • Divide batter among muffin cups (each cup will be about half full). Toss rhubarb with confectioners sugar and sprinkle batter with rhubarb, then crumble streusel evenly on top. Bake in middle of oven until tops are golden and a tester inserted in center of a cake comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool cakes in pan on a rack 3 minutes, then loosen edges of cakes with a small sharp knife or small metal spatula. Remove cakes from pan and put on rack to cool slightly.

These cakes were a bit too dry for my taste.

I can't wait to try these cakes with other fruits, like strawberries or blueberries.

I had some trouble finding fresh rhubarb, so I used frozen instead. The cakes still turned out great.

I'm not a huge fan of rhubarb, but these cakes were surprisingly delicious. The streusel topping really made the dish.

These cakes are so good! The rhubarb filling is tart and sweet, and the streusel topping is perfectly crunchy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

These rhubarb streusel cakes were a hit at my brunch party! The streusel topping was perfectly crumbly and the rhubarb filling was tart and tangy. I used fresh rhubarb from my garden and it made the cakes even more delicious.
