Almond Rhubarb Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

As I write this it is still rhubarb season here in Michigan and our refrigerator is filled with these tangy, bright spears of deliciousness.  I have frozen some to enjoy later in the year when we get hungry for a bite of summertime but I still haven't gotten my fill this season.  I have made rhubarb crumble, rhubarb berry coffee cake, rhubarb and mixed berry cobbler, rhubarb muffins and a rhubarb crisp.

I walk around all day thinking of different things I can make with my abundance of rhubarb. Perhaps a bread, or a pie would be good, maybe an upside down cake.  How about something savory rather that sweet?  My friend Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, roasted up some rhubarb and made scones.   Maybe I should roast some and toss it into a salad.  Or maybe make a chutney to serve with grilled meats.  The possibilities just run through my brain.

Then, as luck would have it, our Bundt Baker's theme this month, chosen by Shilpi of Simply Veggies,  is fruit and nuts.  A perfect way to use some more rhubarb.  I adapted this recipe from an almond rhubarb coffee cake that I found on Allrecipes.com.

It turned out beautifully.  A perfect start to the day or a wonderful finish to your dinner.  I think this will be staying on my rhubarb recipe rotation for many years to come.

Almond Rhubarb Bundt Cake

adapted from allrecipes .com submitted by Neris

1 T. butter, melted

1/4 c. sliced almonds

1/3 c. granulated sugar

3/4 c. packed light brown sugar

3/4 c. packed dark brown sugar

2/3 c. canola oil

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

2 1/2 c. flour

1 t. salt

1 t. baking soda

1 c. whole milk

1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/4" slices

1/2 c. sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350* and prepare a bundt pan by spraying with baking spray.

Combine melted butter, 1/4 c. almonds and granulated sugar.  Sprinkle this mixture in the bottom of the bundt pan.

In large bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat together brown sugars, oil, egg and vanilla until smooth.  Reduce mixing speed to low and add dry ingredients, alternately with the milk until combined completely.  Add the almonds and rhubarb and stir to incorporate.  

Spoon into the bundt pan over the streusel topping and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the thickest part of the cake removes cleanly.  Print Recipe
