It’s rhubarb time! Yay!
I know – not everyone likes rhubarb (or worse, not everyone knows rhubarb) – but it’s one of my favorite vegetables. You can’t beat a nice rhubarb cake or soda with rhubarb sirup (btw. easy to make) on a warm and sunny spring or summer day – fresh, bit sweet and bit sour – just perfect! I hope you like this mix of rhubarb, streusel and cheesecake. Enjoy baking!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Peel the rhubarb and cut into small pieces. For the streusel mix flour, butter, sugar and rolled oats until you have nice crumbles. Add 7 oz. (200g) of the rhubarb and mix. Set aside.
3. For the filling place the remaining rhubarb in a medium pan, add the sugar and bring to a boil, cook for about 2 minutes and drain.
4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl mix the cream cheese, curd cheese, sugar, eggs and melted butter until mixed well and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and cornstarch and mix again.
5. Spread the cooked rhubarb on the cake base, spread the filling on top and cover with the streusel. Bake for 65-75 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Dust with confectioner’s sugar (optional).
Note: Rhubarb looses it’s color when cooked. If you want it a bit more red, you can add some raspberries when cooking to give some color back.
2. Rhabarber schälen und in kleine Stücke schneiden. Für die Streusel das Mehl mit der Butter, Zucker und Haferflocken verkneten. Ca. 200g des Rhabarbers zugeben und alles vermischen. Zur Seite stellen.
3. Für die Füllung den Rhabarber in einem Topf mit dem Zucker aufkochen und für 2 Minuten köcheln lassen. Saft abschütten.
4. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. In einer großen Schüssel den Frischkäse, Magerquark, Zucker, Eier und geschmolzene Butter zu einer glatten Masse verrühren. Vanille Extrakt und Stärke zugeben und erneut verrühren.
5. Den gekochten Rhabarber auf dem Boden verteilen und die Frischkäse-Quark Masse darauf geben. Mit den Streuseln bedecken und für 65-75 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen. Mit Puderzucker bestäuben (optional)
Anmerkung: Rhabarber verliert beim Kochen die rote Farbe. Soll die Masse aber die Farbe behalten, kann man einfach ein paar Himbeeren mitkochen, um dem Ganzen wieder etwas Farbe zu geben.
