Strawberry Rhubarb Cake

Bundt cake, pound cake, kugelhopf, there are so many names for this kind of cake. And so many possibilities. I have made my share of bundt cakes over the years, have a look at these delicious Orange Bundt Cake or this Chocolate Almond Bundt Cake; they are two of my favorites.

What do you need?

Rhubarb:

• I baked this recipe with the first rhubarb stalk I could pick in my friend’s garden. The bush is not particularly large yet, it needs about one week more to reach its full potential, but I could still get some smaller stalks to make this wonderful and simple cake. The recipe doesn’t require a lot, so one stalk was actually sufficient.
• It was the first rhubarb cake I have baked this year, but it will not be the last. We love anything made with rhubarb: cakes, desserts, jams, or savory dishes, and I always try to make the most of the short season.

Strawberries:

• A rather small amount as well, only 150 g /5.3 oz fresh strawberries.

Flour:

• I prefer to use cake or pastry flour when baking cakes; I think it makes the baked goods fluffier and nicer. However, if all you have is all-purpose flour, it should be fine as well.

Greek yogurt:

• Thick, creamy yogurt, the one I use has 3,8% fat. You can use full-fat but don’t go lower than 3% if using low fat.

Other ingredients: sugar, eggs, butter, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract.

How to prepare a bundt pan for baking?

• I usually use a silicone bundt cake mold (Amazon affiliate link). It requires absolutely no preparation; pour the batter into the pan, bake, get it out of the pan in 3 seconds. Everything perfect!
• Traditional pans are not that difficult to work with either but keep in mind that although they are called non-stick, if you don’t prepare them carefully, everything will stick to them anyway, and you can then scrape the pieces out of it instead of having a nice looking, whole cake.

• There is a simple method to avoid this kind of mess.
• Take a generous amount of soft butter and use your hands to thoroughly grease the bundt pan, including all the nooks and crannies of the pan. Make sure every inch of the pan is well greased.
• If the butter is very soft, you could use a brush to grease the bundt pan, but I prefer my hands; I feel they do a better job…
• After you have greased the pan, you have to coat it with flour.
• Take about ¼ cup or so of flour, tip it into the pan and start shaking and turning the pan so that the flour coats the insides, including all the nooks and crannies as well.
• I do that over the kitchen sink so that the flour will not get on all the working surfaces or all over the floor.
• When the pan is properly coated with flour, turn it around and start shaking and patting it gently on the bottom and on the sides to remove the excess flour.
