    I love baking with rhubarb! No matter what – everything with rhubarb turns out great. I know that not everyone feels that way because it’s not everyone’s favorite veggie to bake with ;P But I can live with that. Means more rhubarb for me and everyone that actually likes those red-green stalks. A great recipe to celebrate the rhubarb season is this simple Rhubarb Streusel Coffee Cake. (Relatively) quick on the table, great texture, and extremely delicious – what more could you want?!

    Every spring when the first rhubarb arrives at the farmer’s market you will find a very happy German rhubarb fanboy. Me ;P Most of the year rhubarb is not available and that means you really have to celebrate the short time you can get it. I mean – rhubarb is probably available all year round in different places around the world but here in Germany we only have a few months with this marvelous veggie ;)

    Well… to be honest – you can make this cake even if the rhubarb season is over already because it works well with frozen and defrosted rhubarb. No need to limit yourself only to spring and early summer if you want to enjoy some delicious rhubarb cake ;) If you freeze rhubarb properly it will be good to use until autumn or even winter for cakes like this one here. Only if you want something like a neat-looking Rhubarb Galette it is better to use fresh rhubarb because the frozen one will not look as good when defrosted. No problem at all if inside a cake ;P

    Anyway. This cake here is really easy to prepare. Maybe not quite as fast on the table as advertised at the beginning, because the rhubarb needs some time to marinate, but you can do that sometime during the day (or the day before) and then do other things… so that doesn’t actually count as part of the baking process for me ;P

    The rest is really easy and done in no time at all. A bit of dough mixing, streusel streuseling and then off to the oven. All easy-peasy. Something that many coffee cakes have in common. The result is perfect to enjoy the first sun on the balcony or terrace… or in your own garden if you are lucky ;) Where you could actually plant your own rhubarb ;P Anyway. Enjoy this cake if you make it! I am pretty sure you will like it!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch

    1. Wash and dry the rhubarb, cut it into small pieces, and mix with some mashed raspberries (optional) and vanilla sugar in a small bowl. Set aside for about 1 hour, so it can marinate a bit – mix occasionally.

    2. For the streusels add the flour and sugar to a bowl and mix to combine. Add the cold butter in small pieces and mix everything with your fingers until you get different sizes of streusels. Place in the fridge until needed.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×5 inches (23x13cm) loaf pan with a piece of baking parchment and grease lightly. Set aside.

    4. Add the butter and sugar (or xylitol) to a large bowl and mix on high speed for about 4-5 minutes until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs one after another and mix well after each addition – butter and eggs will only combine well if they had the same temperature. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add together with the sour cream and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix on low until just combined. Sprinkle the flour over the marinated rhubarb and mix to combine, then add the rolled oats and mix in as well. Add the rhubarb to the bowl with the batter and fold in. Pour about half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out. Sprinkle about half of the streusels on top and cover with the remaining batter. Smooth out the top. Mix the remaining streusels with the rolled oats and sprinkle on top of the batter.

    5. Bake the cake for about 65-70 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool down in the loaf pan for some time, then lift out of the pan with the parchment paper and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    1. Den Rhabarber waschen, trocknen, in kleine Stücke schneiden und mit den zerdrückten Himbeeren (optional) und dem Vanillezucker in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen. Für etwa 1 Stunde ziehen lassen – zwischendurch immer wieder einmal umrühren.

    2. Für die Streusel das Mehl und den Zucker in einer Schüssel vermischen. Die kalte Butter dazugeben und mit den Fingern zügig zu Streuseln verarbeiten. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine 23x13cm (9×5 inches) große Kastenform mit einem Stück Backpapier auslegen und leicht einfetten. Zur Seite stellen.

    4. Butter und Zucker (oder Xylit) in eine große Schüssel geben und auf höchster Stufe für etwa 4-5 Minuten hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren – Butter und Eier verbinden sich nur dann gut, wenn sie dieselbe Temperatur haben. Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen, dann zusammen mit dem Schmand und Vanille Extrakt zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles auf niedrigster Stufe nur kurz verrühren. Das Mehl auf den durchgezogenen Rhabarber geben und alles gut vermischen, dann die Haferflocken dazugeben und vermengen, dann alles in die Schüssel mit dem Teig dazugeben und unterheben. Etwa die Hälfte des Teigs in die vorbereitete Backform schütten und glattstreichen. Etwa die Hälfte der Streusel darauf verteilen, dann den restlichen Teig darüber geben und glattstreichen. Zu den restlichen Streuseln den verbliebenen Esslöffel Haferflocken dazugeben, vermischen und dann auf dem Teig in der Form verteilen.

    5. Den Kuchen für etwa 65-70 Minuten backen – mit einem Holzspieß testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und den Kuchen erst herausholen, wenn dieser sauber herauskommt. Den Rhabarberkuchen aus dem Ofen nehmen und in der Form für einige Zeit abkühlen lassen, dann mit dem Backpapier herausheben und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.
