  • Total Time: 65 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for rhubarb layer)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for rhubarb layer)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for streusel)
  • 1/2 cup melted or softened butter (for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the streusel: flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and sour cream until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Toss chopped rhubarb with sugar and flour; gently fold half the batter into a greased 9-inch square pan.
  8. Sprinkle rhubarb mixture evenly over the batter, then carefully spoon the remaining batter on top.
  9. Spread the remaining batter evenly and top with streusel.
  10. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use fresh rhubarb and let ingredients come to room temperature prior to mixing.
