Strawberry Rhubarb Cake

Today is my dad's birthday! He loves rhubarb. So, I decided to make him Strawberry Rhubarb Cake! As a farmer, he spent the day planting soybeans.  After a day of working in the field, I hope he enjoys it!

 

 

1 tablespoon      butter

1/4 cup      brown sugar

1 cup      strawberries

1 cup      rhubarb

 

1 2/3 cups      wheat flour

1/4 teaspoon      salt

1 teaspoon      baking powder

1/4 teaspoon      baking soda
1/2 teaspoon      cinnamon

6 tablespoons      butter

2/3 cup      brown sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon      vanilla

2/3 cup      nonfat yogurt  (optional)

1 zested lemon
 

 

Melt 1 tablespoons of butter and cover the bottom and sides of a 9 inch cake pan. Sprinkle 1/8 cup of brown sugar over the butter. Arrange the sliced strawberries on the bottom of the pan, then the sliced rhubarb. Squeeze some lemon juice over the strawberries and rhubarb.

 

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix butter, and brown sugar together. Beat in the egg, and vanilla. Add dry mixture together. Mix in the yogurt for a dense, moist cake. Add the lemon zest. Spread over the strawberries and rhubarb.

 

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a plate to serve.

 

 

The strawberry-rhubarb cake is so beautiful to enjoy during the summer! Enjoy!
