Your answer is here if you want to celebrate Mother's Day with a delicious treat. This sweet and tangy Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake has a perfect flavour, taste and texture balance! Rhubarb has a unique sour taste; when raw, it has a texture similar to celery, but when cooked, it is very soft and moist. Needless to say that strawberries add a ton of fruity flavour and sweetness to this cake.
About This Recipe
- this Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake is light, buttery, flavorful, and tender.
- The ingredients are simple, and the steps are also easy to follow.
- This recipe uses all-purpose flour as well as almond flour. Almond flour gives this cake a nutty flavour and slightly crunchy texture.
- Well, we need rhubarb and strawberries. This recipe calls for an equal amount of both; however, if you prefer a sour cake, add more rhubarb and fewer strawberries. Chop them into small pieces about ½ inch.
- We also need eggs, leavener, and sour cream. Sour cream is a fat source and adds a good amount of moisture to the cake.
- We can use vanilla extract or, for additional flavour, add one tablespoon of lemon zest.
- We need an 8X12 oven-safe pan, which can be ceramic or metal. Grease the pan, line it with parchment paper, and grease again. This makes removing the cake easier.
How To Make Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake
- Firstly, using the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and the softened butter until creamy and light.
- Add the eggs one at a time, and ensure each is well incorporated; beat the mixture for at least 3-4 minutes.
- Next, add the extracts and sour cream. The mixture might look curdled, and that is okay.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the mixture and gently fold.
- At last, add the chopped strawberries and rhubarb, and mix evenly.
- Scoop the batter into the lined pan, and decorate the top with sliced strawberries and rhubarb.
