INGREDIENTS
•
Not rhubarb season? Don’t fret. I think this cake would be amazing with a blueberry, raspberry, sour cherry or any other tangy fruit filling you can think of. Simply adjust the sugar level accordingly–most of these will need far less than rhubarb
•
Butter for greasing pan
•
For the rhubarb filling:
•
1/2 pound rhubarb, trimmed
•
1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch
•
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
•
For the crumbs:
•
1/3 cup dark brown sugar

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
•
1/8 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) butter, melted
•
1 3/4 cups cake flour (I was out and used all-purpose and it worked great)
•
For the cake:
•
1/3 cup sour cream
•
1 large egg
•
1 large egg yolk
•
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup cake flour (ditto on the all-purpose flour–worked just fine)

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
•
6 tablespoons softened butter, cut into 8 pieces.
