Apple Rhubarb Cake with Almonds
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups diced rhubarb
  • 1 apple, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, or to taste
  • 1 pinch white sugar, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the ideal temperature for baking.
2
Next, take a moment to grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent the cake from sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups of granulated sugar and 8 ounces of softened butter using an electric mixer. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth, light, and airy.
4
Add eggs one at a time to the mixing bowl, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix each egg and extract thoroughly before adding the next ingredient.
5
Turn your mixer to a low speed setting and gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stop mixing once the ingredients are just combined.
6
Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped rhubarb to avoid bruising the delicate fruit.
7
Pour the cake batter into your prepared 9-inch round baking pan. Smooth the top of the batter to create a uniform surface.
8
Arrange apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the cake batter. Sprinkle sliced almonds and additional granulated sugar over the apple slices for a decorative touch.
9
Bake your cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10
Once your cake is done baking, let it cool completely before serving warm or cold.
