Rhubarb Streusel Coffee Cake

 

 

Ingredients:

Filling:

3/4 cup white sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3 cups diced fresh rhubarb

 

 

Cake:

3/4 cup milk

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 1/4 cups flour

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup butter

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1 egg, beaten

 

 

 

Directions:

Filling:

In a medium saucepan combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in rhubarb.

 

 

Cook and stir over medium heat, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.

Remove from heat and cool.

 

 

Cake:

Combine milk and lemon juice. Set aside.

 

 

Combine flour and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly ( a food

processor is great for this). Remove 1/2 cup of this mixture and set it

aside to use for topping.

 

 

To the remaining flour mixture add baking powder, baking soda, and walnuts.

 

 

Combine egg with milk mixture. Add to the dry ingredients and stir or

process until just moistened.

 

 

Spread 2/3 of the batter over the bottom and part way up the sides of a

greased 9 inch springform pan. Spoon the rhubarb filling over this. Drop the

remaining batter by spoonfuls over the filling. Sprinkle with reserved crumb

mixture.

 

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
