Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Rhubarb Cake.
Step 1
Begin by creating a luscious filling: in a large saucepan, blend together 2/3 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of cornstarch.
Step 2
Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb and thawed strawberries, then heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, stirring until it thickens, then remove from heat and stir in the zesty lemon juice.
Step 4
Set this delightful filling aside to cool.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prepare for the magic ahead.
Step 6
In a spacious bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 7
Cut in 1 cup of cold butter using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, evoking the texture of sandy shores.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract, then gently fold this creamy mixture into the flour blend until just combined.
Step 9
Spoon 2/3 of this batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly like a warm embrace.
Step 10
Pour the cooled strawberry-rhubarb filling over the batter, then dollop the remaining 1/3 of the batter on top, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Step 11
For the finishing touch, mix 3/4 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of flour in a small bowl, then cut in 1/4 cup of cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 12
Sprinkle this sweet topping generously over the batter.
Step 13
Bake in your preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping turns a golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, revealing the deliciousness within.
Step 14
Once baked, let the cake cool on a wire rack, allowing the enticing aromas to fill your kitchen before serving this delightful treat to family and friends.
Step 15
Enjoy the sweet symphony of flavors!.
