Delicious Almond Cake With Rhubarb Compote Recipes

RHUBARB ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan with parchment paper and place on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
• Slice half of the rhubarb into ½ -inch (1cm), and the other half into 2-inch (5cm) pieces. Place each half in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar, toss, and set aside.
• In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar for one minute. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mix until creamy.
• Add almond meal, spelt flour, baking powder, salt, and orange zest, mix well.
• Fold in sugar-tossed ½-inch rhubarb pieces.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange sugar-tossed 2-inch rhubarb pieces on top of the batter. Sprinkle over almond flakes.
• Bake for 65-70 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and let it cool completely in the springform pan or serve slightly warm.

TOASTED-ALMOND POUNDCAKE WITH STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Set aside to cool.
• Using an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat eggs and 1 cup sugar until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
• In a bowl, sift together almond flour, cake flour and zest. Fold 1/3 of the flour mixture into eggs until thoroughly combined. Fold in rest of flour in 2 batches. Fold in all but 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Scrape batter into pan, and sprinkle almonds on top. Brush remaining butter over almonds.
• Bake cake until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. If the top of the cake seems to be getting overly browned before the center is set, cover with foil and continue baking. Let cool on a rack before inverting.
• Meanwhile, make the compote. In a medium saucepan, combine 12 ounces of the strawberries, the rhubarb, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until fruit breaks down into a puree. Let mixture cool, then taste and add more sugar if desired.
• Just before serving, place remaining strawberries in a large skillet, and sprinkle with sugar to taste. Cook strawberries over high heat until they release their juices and sugar dissolves. Serve slices of the poundcake surrounded by strawberry-rhubarb compote and topped with strawberries.

RHUBARB COMPOTE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine rhubarb, apples, 1/2 cup white sugar, and water together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir rhubarb mixture until rhubarb is tender and compote is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
• Mix 2/3 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Stir milk and stir into the sugar mixture. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix flour mixture into wet mixture until batter is just moistened; pour into the prepared baking dish. Spoon enough compote over cake to make about 1/2-inch-thick layer, reserving any leftover compote for another use.
• Stir oats, 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup white sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl until crumbly; sprinkle over compote layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

ALMOND CAKE WITH RHUBARB COMPOTE AND STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• To make the cake, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 10-inch cake pan, and set aside. Place the almonds and the sugar in a food processor, and process until the almonds are ground. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the flour and salt until well combined.
• In another bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Stir the butter and one third of the egg whites into the dry mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Place on a rack to cool for 10 minutes. Turn cake out of the pan, turn upright, and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the compote. Combine the wine, water, sugar and vanilla bean in a nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and add the rhubarb. Poach for 1 minute, and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the rhubarb to a bowl, and set aside. Return the pan to the heat, and boil until liquid has reduced to 1 cup, about 12 minutes. Set aside. When cool, pour the liquid over the rhubarb.
• Assemble just before serving. Cut the cake into wedges. Spoon the compote onto 6 plates, and top with a wedge of cake. Place strawberry slices over cake, and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
