    It is rhubarb time again! Yay! I could make cakes with that stuff all year long – if it would grow all year long. Unfortunately, the season is short. Way too short in my opinion. Well, let’s make the best out of it: a Rhubarb Ginger Crumble. What a delicious cake!

    This cake is a very easy bake. Not too many steps or ingredients, quick to make and no specials skills needed except being able to handle a food processor and a knife to cut things – well and maybe measure stuff with cups or a scale. ;P

    I like those simple and easy cakes. You can make them without much planning – if you have all at home you require, you’re basically done in 30 minutes (plus the baking time, but that does not really count, because you can do other things when the cake is baking). And the good thing – normally they are pretty awesome. Better than most fancy chocolate-layered-whipped-cream-fruit-filled-five-story-pastry-chef-masterpieces. ;) Keep it simple, guys! :P

    This rhubarb crumble gets its “ooomph” from the candied ginger in the crumbles. I love it. At first, you hardly recognize the ginger flavor and then, when you have eaten the cake, there it is, a bit of sharpness but still sweet.

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch

    For the crumb topping:
    1/3 cup (75g) brown sugar
    1/4 cup (35g) all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup (50g) finely chopped candied ginger
    2 tbsp. butter, melted

    For the cake:
    1 3/4 cups (230g) all-purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. ground ginger
    1/2 tsp. salt
    3/4 cup (170g) butter, at room temperature
    1 cup (200g) sugar
    2 medium eggs
    3/4 cup (180ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
    21 oz. (600g) rhubarb

    Für die Streusel:
    75g brauner Zucker
    35g Mehl (Type 405)
    50g kandierter Ingwer, gehackt
    2 EL geschmolzene Butter

    Für den Kuchen:
    230g Mehl (Type 405)
    1 TL Backpulver
    1/2 TL Natron
    1/2 TL gemahlener Ingwer
    1/2 TL Salz
    170g weiche Butter
    200g Zucker
    2 Eier (M)
    180ml Buttermilch, Zimmertemperatur
    600g Rhabarber

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180°C). Grease a 9 inch (23cm) springform tin.

    2. For the ginger crumb topping, chop the candied ginger in small pieces. Mix with brown sugar and flour in a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbles form. Place in the fridge until you’re done with the rest.

    3. In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger and salt. Set aside. Wash and peel the rhubarb and cut into small pieces. Set aside.

    4. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time and beat until well incorporated. Add the flour mix in three parts alternating with the buttermilk and mix until well combined. Fold in the rhubarb and transfer the batter to the prepared springform tin. Smooth out the surface a bit and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Bake for 45-50 Minutes – the top should be slightly golden. Take out of the oven and let cool down in the tin a bit and then remove from the tin and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    1. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 23cm Springform einfetten.

    2. Für die Ingwer Streusel den kandierten Ingwer in kleine Stücke schneiden. Mit dem braunen Zucker und dem Mehl in einer Schüssel mischen. Die geschmolzene Butter zugeben und mit einer Gabel verrühren, bis sich Streusel bilden. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung im Kühlschrank aufbewahren.

    3. In einer Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver, Natron, gemahlenem Ingwer und Salz vermischen und zur Seite stellen. Den Rhabarber waschen und die äußere Schicht abziehen – in kleine Stücke schneiden und zur Seite stellen.

    4. In einer großen Schüssel die Butter mit dem Zucker aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist – etwa 3-5 Minuten. Eier einzeln zugeben und jeweils gut verrühren. Mehlmischung in drei Portionen zugeben, dabei mit der Buttermilch abwechseln und auf niedriger Stufe verrühren, bis alles gut vermengt ist. Rhabarber unterheben und alles in die vorbereitete Springform füllen. Oberfläche etwas glätten und mit den Streuseln bestreuen. Im Ofen für 45-50 Minuten backen, bis die Oberfläche goldbraun ist. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und erst in der Form etwas abkühlen lassen – dann herausnehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

        OMG – da hab ich doch glatt die wichtigste Zutat weggelassen ;))) Ich hab extra noch abgewogen, das weiss ich und dann wohl vergessen das Rezept zu vervollständigen ;)
        600g Rhabarber sollten es in etwa sein – geschält sind das in etwa 400g am Ende – steht jetzt im Rezept drin

        Danke für den Hinweis!

        Grüße
        Marc

      Hy Marc,

      Dort wo ich wohne (Hinter den 7 Bergen eben) gibt’s noch nicht wirklich Zugang zum Rhabarber.
      Aber dein Rezept wird defintiv mal vorgemerkt, für den Fall, dass doch noch die Roten Stängel beim Supermarkt in der Stadt auftauchen ;D

      Hab einen schönen Tag,
      Kevin

      Love this idea of incorporating ginger in rhubarb crumble.
      We haven`t got the rhubarb season yet, but I look forward to kicking on some rhubarb stuff! :)

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
