Springtime Coffee Cake Recipes

GREAT SPRING RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• 1. In large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and milk. Beat thoroughly.
• 2. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add sugar mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until mixed well.
• 3. Pour in a 9x13 greased pan. Spoon fruit evenly, within 1/2 inch from edges. Combine topping ingredients and evenly layer over fruit.
• 4. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before serving.
• 5. WHEN USING FRESH RHUBARB: To tenderize it just put it in a saucepan with a little water and simmer it until it's just nicely pierced with fork. Do not sweeten it because the brown sugar topping will do that. I usually use frozen rhubarb that is room temp, but will use fresh in season. I'm going to try to freeze the rhubarb this year.
