Strawberry Rhubarb Snacking Cake Recipes

STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CAKE

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 RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• For the caramel topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter just the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
• Stir the sugar and 1/3 cup water together in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cook, no longer stirring but gently swirling the saucepan occasionally, until the mixture is amber, 6 to 8 minutes. (If needed, brush any sugar crystals off the side of the pan with a pastry brush dampened with water.) Remove the saucepan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the butter (use caution; the mixture can bubble up considerably). Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, tilting the pan to cover most of the bottom (be careful; the pan will be very hot from the caramel).
• Toss the rhubarb and strawberries in a medium bowl with the cornstarch, strawberry jam and a pinch of salt. Spoon on top of the caramel sauce and smooth into an even layer. Set aside.
• For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk and sour cream in a small bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as needed, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk-sour cream mixture, and mixing until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter over the rhubarb and strawberries in the cake pan and spread evenly. Bake until the cake is golden brown, bounces back when pressed and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center, 55 to 60 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan on a rack until cool enough to handle and almost room temperature, about 1 hour. Invert a serving platter over the cake pan and, while holding them together, quickly flip them over so the cake unmolds, fruit-side up. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges, and serve.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange strawberries on brown sugar; sprinkle evenly with rhubarb. Press strawberries and rhubarb gently into brown sugar.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over strawberries and rhubarb.
• Bake 46 to 52 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down on pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake 1 minute so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool with whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator.

• 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 COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan; stir in rhubarb and strawberries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about two minutes. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan.
• Combine 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour until just moistened. Spoon two-thirds of the batter into prepared pan; evenly spread on the cooled filling, then cover with remaining batter.
• In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour, and cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle crumb topping over the batter.
• Bake in preheated oven until topping is golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

VEGAN STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CAKE

Steps:

• Note: For the best results, I recommend measuring the ingredients in grams. Simply click on the word "metric" right above the ingredient list. Also, make sure to check out the recipe video + step-by-step pictures above!
• Preheat your oven to 356ºF (180ºC). Lightly grease the sides of a 9-Inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Toss together the rhubarb and 1 ½ tbsp of sugar in a small bowl. In another bowl toss the strawberries with 1 tsp of cornstarch. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another mixing bowl mix together the vegan butter and sugar until creamy, using an electric hand mixer. Then mix in the non-dairy milk, yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until just combined. (A couple of small lumps are okay but please do not overmix!)
• Add the batter into the prepared pan, then gently tap the pan a few times on your counter to level out the top.
• Spread the rhubarb and strawberries on top and gently press them into the batter (see photo above!).
• Bake for 30 minutes. (If you skip the almond topping, bake the cake for 50-60 minutes in total).
• After 25 minutes, prepare the almond topping. Slowly melt the vegan butter and sugar in a saucepan, then stir in the almonds.
• Open the oven and spread the almond mixture over the cake. Bake for another 20-30 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes, then remove the cake from pan and set on a wire rack to cool completely.
• Garnish with pomegranate and dust with a bit of powdered sugar as desired and enjoy!
