This is going to be the last bake with rhubarb for this year – the season is over. Can you see the tears running down my face? Probably not since you are staring at a computer screen :P But there are… well at least one tiny one in the corner of my eye :.(
It is over. Now we have to wait another year for those delicious green-red stalks. But YOU out there are probably happy – it also means no more rhubarb cheering blogposts from me. I guess you were pretty annoyed already with me writing about rhubarb all the time…. rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb rhabarberbarbara ;)
Anyways – these awesome rhubarb… just kidding.
This delicious pie is made with strawberries and r******. Awesome combination! Sweet, a bit sour and an absolute awesome flaky crust! I fell in love lately with this kind of crust and how it is been made. You will see couple more pies like that in the future – especially since I have this dough mixer (Link to Amazon Germany) – it makes these kind of dough much easier to handle :) Of course you can use a regular dough scraper – works also well. Just not as easy and fast ;)
Oh – and I have some r****** frozen. Maybe it is not the last recipe this year. Who knows :P
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 1/8 cup (260g) cold butter
1/3 cup (70g) cold shortening
up to 1/2 cup (120ml) ice water
For the filling:
14 oz. (400g) strawberries
14 oz. (400g) rhubarb
1/2 cup (50g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (50g) sugar
1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
For the eggwash:
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
390g Mehl (Type 405)
50g Zucker
1 TL Salz
260g kalte Butter
70g kaltes Pflanzenfett (Kokosfett)
bis zu 120ml Eiswasser
Für die Füllung:
400g Erdbeeren
400g Rhabarber
50g brauner Zucker
50g Zucker
30g Speisestärke
1 TL gemahlener Zimt
1/4 TL Salz
Für die Glasur:
1 Eigelb
1 TL Wasser
1/2 TL brauner Zucker
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Preheat the oven to 390ËšF (200°C). Wash strawberries and rhubarb and let drain. Cut the strawberries into (not too) small pieces. Peel the rhubarb and also cut into small pieces – add all to a bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt, add to the bowl and toss the fruits until evenly covered.
3. Roll out one of the dough balls to a circle that is bigger than the 9 inch (23cm) pie dish – the dough should overlap about an inch (2,5cm). Transfer the fruit mix into the dish. Roll out the second dough piece and cut into stripes. Place the stripes on top of the filling and create a lattice structure. Cut off overlapping dough stripes on the sides and cover with the overlapping dough from the crust. Press together and form a nice edge.
4. Mix the egg yolk with water and brush the pie with it, sprinkle with bronw sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350ËšF (175°C). Bake for another 60-75 minutes – the pie should be golden brown (if it gets too dark, cover with aluminum foil). Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a cooling rack.
2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Erdbeeren und Rhabarber waschen und abtropfen lassen. Die Erdbeeren in (nicht zu kleine) Stücke schneiden. Rhabarber schälen und ebenso in kleine Stücke schneiden. Beides in eine Schüssel geben. Den Zucker, Stärke, Zimt und Salz in einer kleinen Schüssel vermischen und dann zu den Früchten geben und vermischen.
3. Eine der Teigportionen ausrollen. Der Kreis sollte größer als die 23cm (9 inch) Kuchenform sein – der Teig sollte etwa 2,5cm (1 inch) überlappen. Die Früchte in die Form schütten und verteilen. Die zweite Teigportion ausrollen und in Streifen schneiden. Die Streifen auf die Füllung legen und ein Gittermuster formen – was am Rand zu viel ist abschneiden. Den überlappenden Teig vom Boden über den Rand des Gittermusters einschlagen und festdrücken.
4. Eigelb mit dem Wasser verrühren und den Kuchen damit bestreichen. Mit etwas braunem Zucker bestreuen und dann für 20 Minuten backen. Die Hitzezufuhr auf 175°C (350°F) reduzieren und weitere 60-75 Minuten backen. Die Oberfläche sollte goldbraun sein (sollte der Kuchen zu dunkel werden, mit Aluminiumfolie abdecken). Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

Ingredients
For the crust
- 3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 1/8 cup (260g) cold butter
- 1/3 cup (70g) cold shortening
- up to 1/2 cup (120ml) ice water
For the filling
- 14 oz. (400g) strawberries
- 14 oz. (400g) rhubarb
- 1/2 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (50g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
For the eggwash
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp. water
- 1/2 tsp. brown sugar
Instructions
- Cut the butter and shortening into small pieces – both should be quite cold. Add flour, sugar and salt to a large bowl and mix. Add the diced butter and shortening and toss, so every piece of the fat is covered with the flour mix. Cut the butter and shortening into very small pieces by using a dough scraper (if you have a food processor that can mix, use that one). Gradually add the ice water while stirring with the dough scraper. The dough is fine when it starts sticking together when you squeeze it between your fingers – if it still crumbles, you should add some more water. Form two equal sized dough balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for at least one hour (you can also do that one day in advance).
- Preheat the oven to 390ËšF (200°C). Wash strawberries and rhubarb and let drain. Cut the strawberries into (not too) small pieces. Peel the rhubarb and also cut into small pieces – add all to a bowl. Mix sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt, add to the bowl and toss the fruits until evenly covered.
- Roll out one of the dough balls to a circle that is bigger than the 9 inch (23cm) pie dish – the dough should overlap about an inch (2,5cm). Transfer the fruit mix into the dish. Roll out the second dough piece and cut into stripes. Place the stripes on top of the filling and create a lattice structure. Cut off overlapping dough stripes on the sides and cover with the overlapping dough from the crust. Press together and form a nice edge.
- Mix the egg yolk with water and brush the pie with it, sprinkle with bronw sugar. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350ËšF (175°C). Bake for another 60-75 minutes – the pie should be golden brown (if it gets too dark, cover with aluminum foil). Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a cooling rack.

YUM. Cut me a slice now! This pie looks so wickedly delicious and makes such perfect use of seasonal produce.
there is nothing better than a slice of rhubarb cake when it is in season! :)
Die Füllung sieht einfach nur zum daniederknien aus! So etwas in der Art muss ich auch mal versuchen.
Klasse gemacht!

Danke Jens! Bei Erdbeeren und Rhabarber kann man aber auch ehrlich gesagt nicht viel falsch machen – das wird immer gut ;)

I feel your pain, Marc. And I see your tears as well. Unfortunately, I screwed this season having used rhubarb only twice, in yogurt. But at least thanks to your lovely recipes I’ve been kind of participating in that! And here we go. Another amazing pie. Perfect farewell to a rhubarb season!
Hi Ben ;)
I already got over it with some wine and strawberries – works every time :P
You can still use frozen one to feel the joy..
Cheers,
Marc
