Rhubarb “Coffee” Cake

I typically make this cake in a square cake pan (about 8 inch by 8 inch) however in this video I used a bigger pan than typical. Please use a square cake pan for best results. The flavor will be perfection either way but it will be more fuller if made in a smaller pan.

Materials:

  • 7-8 pieces of rhubarb
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Process:

  1. Preheat the oven to 380 degrees F and grease a square cake pan (8×8 or 9×9) with unsalted butter and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl add in the eggs and sugar. Using a hand held mixer whip the mixture until pale in color and fluffy.
  4. Gradually start to add in the oil. Mix well.
  5. Add in the vanilla extract and mix.
  6. Add in the dry ingredients and fold in using a spatula.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with the pieces of rhubarb.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely and dust with some powdered sugar.
  10. Cut and ENJOY!
