Title: Rhubarb Slice Cake
Post by: jo_nz on March 03, 2013, 12:20:21 am

This is a really simple chuck-it-all-in recipe that I've just made in the tmx for the first time (because finally the rhubarb in the garden has taken off!)

125g soft butter
230g sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
120g milk
220g flour
1 tsp mixed spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp baking powder

Place all in bowl, mix speed 5 for 5 sec.  Scrape down side and then knead on dough setting for 3 mins.
Pour into 20x30cm lined cake tin.

Next for the topping:
5-6 stalks of rhubarb, chopped into small slices. Sprinkle over the cake mixture.  
Mix together:
1/4 cup brown sugar (or raw sugar for a little crunch - today I've stuck with brown)
1/2 tsp mixed spice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Sprinkle over rhubarb.

Bake at 180 deg for about 40 mins or until cake springs back.

I'll try and get another pic when it's cooled and I can slice it.  Nice as a slice on its own, or as a dessert with custard or ice cream.

Amy - Thanks Jo, we love this. It has a beautiful texture and a lovely flavour. I did reduce the sugar in the cake to 180g, and added a little extra to the topping.

Like the look of this one, Jo.  Will make and take to the girls at the Farmer's Market.

Yay, good to see it turned out alright.  Was a bit nervous sending a recipe out "into the wild"  ;)

I love this recipe, it's so good for using rhubarb :D :D :D

But I have 2 in the oven and I still have over a kilo of rhubarb :-\

Oh well, I'm sure the cakes will be gone just as quick as last time, then I can make some more ;D

Tenina's rhubarb mousse is delicious and so is rhubarb jam.

 I also posted a recipe a while ago for apple and rhubarb chutney which I am pretty keen on at the moment.

Can you tell what is still growing best in my garden?
