Provided by Stephanie Wilson

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced in half or chopped
1 1/2 cups cubed rhubarb (I use 2 medium stalks)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch pie plate or tart pan.
  • Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and mix until combined. Remove bowl from the electric mixer and gently fold in the rhubarb.
  • Transfer batter to buttered pie plate and spread evenly. Arrange halved strawberries on top of the cake and sprinkle with an additional 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Bake the cake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven to 325 degrees and continue baking until the cake is golden brown and firm to the touch -- about 1 hour. Let cool and cut into wedges.

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CAKE



Strawberry Rhubarb Cake image

Sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb are a perfect match in this simple cake.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Dessert

Time 57m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour (see note below for gluten-free alternative)
2 cups strawberries, washed and dried as much as possible, chopped very small
1 cup rhubarb, thinly sliced and chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip or shorten this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Add the rhubarb and strawberries and stir to mix throughout.
  • Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. (This is my favorite pan.) Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (43 minutes typically works for me.) Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY-LEMON LOAF CAKE



Strawberry-Lemon Loaf Cake image

This cake is summer in a loaf pan. When baked, strawberries can become sour and a little gummy. Here, berries are macerated with sugar first to remove some of their liquid and concentrate their flavor. (Don't use frozen strawberries. Keep those for your smoothie!) The lemon icing adds a nice finish, to balance and bolster the cake's tart-sweetness. Have it as dessert or a snack, but it's especially good at breakfast with hot coffee or tea.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/150 grams diced strawberries
1 cup/200 grams plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 cup/227 grams sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 cup/110 grams vegetable oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup/123 grams confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar to macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, lemon zest, baking powder, salt and remaining 1 cup sugar. Whisk to combine. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, oil, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir gently to mix. Lift the macerated berries out of their liquid and add them to the batter. Gently fold in the berries until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. If it looks to be browning on top too much, tent with aluminum foil. Cool it in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cake carefully and transfer to the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar with the lemon zest and juice and stir until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. Let stand until set.
