Strawberry Rhubarb Coffee Cake

By: ARKBUCKS 
"Strawberries and rhubarb combine to make a sweet, fruity filling in this cake. The crumb topping adds a little crunch; it would probably be good with some nuts sprinkled on top."

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings
 

Ingredients

  • Filling
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced strawberries, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  •  
  • Cake
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cold butter or margarine
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  
  • Topping
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter or margarine

Directions

  1. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan; stir in rhubarb and strawberries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about two minutes. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and let cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.
  3. Combine 3 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour until just moistened. Spoon two-thirds of the batter into prepared pan; evenly spread on the cooled filling, then cover with remaining batter.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour, and cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over the batter. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
