Rhubarb Streusel Cake

Labels: { , , }

A delicious tea time cake/tart with a tangy rhubarb filling topped with nutty and buttery streusel. Serve it warm, if desired, with ice cream or vanilla sauce.

CakeStreusel Topping
  • 150 g Flour
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • 75 g Butter, diced
  • 1 tbsp Cold water
  • 500 g Rhubarb
  • 70 g Ladyfingers, crumbled
  • 50 g Brown sugar
  • 100 g Flour
  • 100 g Almond, ground
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 1/3 tsp Nutmeg powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • 150 g Butter, diced
  1. To prepare the base. Place flour, sugar, salt, egg yolk, butter and cold water in a mixing bowl. Stir with a hand mixer attached with dough hooks until the mixture comes together. Form it into a ball and chill, wrapped with a cling film, for 30 minutes.
  2. Clean and trim rhubarb, removing any leaves. Cut the rhubarb stalks into 1cm pieces. Crush the ladyfingers until fine crumbs form. In a mixing bowl, mix together 100 grams sugar, flour, ground almond, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut in butter to form crumbs. Chill, covered, until ready to use.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Butter a 26cm tart dish or line with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 32cm round between two sheets of parchment paper and place it into the tart dish. Sprinkle the crumbled ladyfingers at the bottom of the tart, scatter over the rhubarb pieces, and then sprinkle on brown sugar evenly. Now cover it with streusel topping. Bake in the middle of hot oven for 45 minutes until nicely golden brown.

This time I clicked over from Foodbuzz, and buzzed your Rhubarb Streusel Cake which is unusual and beautiful. Our rhubarb in S. Florida is usually a ruby red color, and most of the time we mix it with strawberries to make a pie with. I will have try your cake recipe with the rhubarb, and chances are it will turn out pink on the inside!
Love the streusel topping!
Happy Easter, Angie!

Mmm just discovered rhubarb last year but only toward the end of the season, so I'm super excited spring is here now to get a whole season to play with this lovely ingredient. It's fantastic with streusel, so I know your cake must be amazing :).

Rhubarb isn't something new to me but have yet tried it personally. According to some info, rhubarb is actually under the catergory of fruits. Funny huh..since it looks more to a green vege. Thanks for the recipe. Haapy Easter Day!

I have incredibly cherishable memories of my 'Nonno' growing rhubarb for me and creating all kinds of treats with it. Unfortunately, since Hubby is really not a fan, I somewhat abandoned it...sigh.
