Description

Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cake combines tart rhubarb with nutty almonds in a moist, tender cake perfect for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Alternate adding dry mixture and milk until well combined.
  4. Fold in chopped rhubarb and 1/2 cup sliced almonds with a spatula.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pans. Mix white sugar, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds; sprinkle over the batter.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense texture.
  • Ensure baking soda is fresh for proper rise.
  • Let rhubarb sit with a bit of sugar before adding to batter for enhanced flavor.
  • Toasting the almonds before use adds extra crunch and flavor.
  • Can substitute rhubarb with apples or pears for a different twist.
