Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rhubarb and Apple Compote Cake.
Step 1
In a saucepan, blend rhubarb, diced apples, half a cup of white sugar, and water.
Step 2
Heat the mixture until it reaches a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and the compote thickens, which should take about ten minutes.
Step 3
While that simmers, preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by greasing it.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, cream together a quarter cup of margarine with two-thirds cup of white sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 5
Incorporate an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until well combined, then stir in the milk.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 7
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until moistened.
Step 8
Pour this batter into your greased baking dish.
Step 9
Generously spoon the rhubarb compote over the batter, creating a delightful half-inch layer, and set aside any extra compote for later enjoyment.
Step 10
In another bowl, combine oats, half a cup of margarine, half a cup of white sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, mixing until crumbly.
Step 11
Evenly distribute this oat mixture over the compote layer in the baking dish.
Step 12
Bake in your preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your delicious creation is ready to be savored.
Step 13
Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this delightful dessert!.
