Rhubarb Or Apple Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees C, Grease a 26 cm spring pan.
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl cream butter with sugar for about 5 minutes. Add one egg at a time until well incorporated. Add the vanilla extract, mix well. Turn mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture. Don't over mix.
• Flod in the cut rhubarb and transfer dough to baking pan. Smooth the top. Sprinkle on the almonds.
• Baked for about 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar(it does not get to the consistency of white sugar and butter).
• Add eggs and vanilla.
• Sift in a tablespoon of flour first and fold it in (a trick my mummy always taught me).
• Sift in the rest of the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; fold it together.
• Add rhubarb, lemon rind and sour cream; combine well.
• Pour into a 22cm cake tin.
• Bake at 180 degrees C for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
• Topping (optional): 80g brown sugar with cinnamon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add to egg mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in apples, rhubarb and walnuts., Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool. Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooled loaves in plastic wrap and foil. To use, thaw at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cream together the butter and the sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the honey/syrup.
• Stir in the flour and baking powder. Finely chop the stem ginger and add this to the mixture, along with the chopped fruit. Stir it all in, it should form a nice, gloopy batter.
• Pour the mixture into a medium sized baking tray (for a tray-bake style cake) or a cake tin (for a more traditional circular cake).
• Bake in the centre of a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees celcius for 1 hour and 15 minutes. When cooked, a knife inserted into the centre should come out clean. Take the tray/tin out of the oven and leave to cool before cutting into square or slices. Enjoy with a cup of tea mid afternoon, or warm with custard for pudding!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and grease and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm round cake tin with a little of the butter and baking parchment. Put the butter, 250g sugar and vanilla into a big mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy with an electric whisk.
• Beat in the eggs, one by one, then fold in the 300g flour and baking powder. Spoon out 85g of the batter, and stir the extra 7 tbsp flour and cinnamon into this with a cutlery knife so it becomes crumbly.
• Fold the rhubarb into the rest of the cake batter and scrape into the prepared tin. Scatter over the crumble mix followed by 1 tbsp sugar. Bake for 1 hr 15 mins, until a skewer poked in comes out clean - you'll need to lay a sheet of foil on top after an hour if the cake is browning too much. Cool for 15 mins in the tin, then finish on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, stir together 1 1/4 cups sugar, baking soda, salt and 2 cups flour. Stir in the eggs and sour cream until smooth, then fold in the rhubarb. Pour into the prepared dish and spread evenly. In a smaller bowl, stir together the remaining 1 cup sugar and butter until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup flour until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the cake then dust lightly with cinnamon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
