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.

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.

BUTTERMILK-RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE

Rhubarb season is coming so I thought I'd post this recipe that I got from my Aunt. I believe it's a Mollie Katzen recipe as my Aunt loves her stuff.

Provided by Hey Jude

Categories     Breads

Time 45m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb (1/4-inch pieces)
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° (325° if you're using a glass pan). Place rhubarb in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Let stand while preparing the batter.
  • Spray an 8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer, until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  • In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until uniformly blended. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir thoroughly, but minimally, until combined, don't overmix.
  • Fold in the rhubarb and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. The batter will be stiff and you'll have to work with it a little, spreading it in the pan. Don't worry if it doesn't look completely uniform in the pan.
  • Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the batter.
  • Bake 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted all the way into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

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:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful coffee cake, make sure to use fresh rhubarb and buttermilk. Opt for organic rhubarb whenever possible to minimize exposure to pesticides.
  • For a perfect crumb topping, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in a tough coffee cake.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To achieve an even bake, place the coffee cake pan in the center of the oven and avoid opening the oven door during baking. This helps maintain a consistent temperature and prevents the cake from sinking.
  • For a finishing touch, sprinkle a layer of powdered sugar on top of the cooled coffee cake before serving. This adds a delicate sweetness and enhances its presentation.

Conclusion:

This rhubarb buttermilk coffee cake is a delightful and versatile treat that combines the tangy sweetness of rhubarb with the moist, tender crumb of a classic coffee cake. Whether you're enjoying it as a breakfast pastry, afternoon snack, or dessert, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
