Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cake


My friend Julie made this delicious moist coffee cake using rhubarb from her garden. Nothing says an Ontario summer is on its way like something made with fresh rhubarb.

Ingredients: 
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  •  1teaspoon baking soda 
  •  1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
  •  ⅔ cup vegetable oil 
  •  1 large egg 
  •  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  1 cup milk 
  •  1 ½ cups rhubarb, chopped 
  •  ½ cup sliced almonds 

 Streusel Topping: 
  •  ⅓ cup white sugar 
  •  1 tablespoon butter, melted
  •  ¼ cup sliced almonds 

Methods: 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 

Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.  

Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Beat the brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the flour mixture and milk, alternately, and combine. Stir in the rhubarb and 1/2 cup almonds until incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. 

To make the struesel, mix the white sugar and melted butter together with a fork in a small bowl, then stir in 1/4 cup almonds and sprinkle over the batter. 

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
