Golden Glory Picnic Cake Recipes

MOIST, TENDER SPICE CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a metal or disposable foil 9-by-13-inch pan. Whisk dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl. Mix milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a 2-cup measuring cup.
• Beat softened butter into dry ingredients, first on low, then medium, until mixture forms pebble-sized pieces. Add about 1/3 of the milk mixture and beat on low until smooth. Add remaining milk mixture in two stages; beat on medium speed until batter is just smooth. Add the sugar; beat until just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into cake pan.
• Bake until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake's center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack; let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the pan perimeter and turn cake onto rack. Let cool.

RHUBARB BUTTERMILK PICNIC CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350*F/180*C/gas mark 4. Butter a 9-inch square baking tin and line it with some baking paper. Set aside.
• Put the rhubarb into a bowl along with the 1/3 cup of sugar. Set aside while you make the batter for the cake.
• Cream together the butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and the vanilla. Stir in the baking soda, nutmeg and salt.
• Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk, making three dry and two wet additions until well combined.
• Quickly fold in the rhubarb along with any juices. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes until risen, golden brown and the edges have shrunk away from the sides of the pan a bit. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Cool in the pan for five minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
• Serve cut into squares. You can dust it with a bit of icing sugar to pretty it up a bit.
