One Egg Dinner Cake
Tiny Texas Sheet Cake
I had originally planned on making the Pina Colada cake for this month. But then I went into the refrigerator and I only had one egg. I went out to the chicken coop and I still only had one egg. I figured it was fate that one of the cakes this month was called the One Egg Dinner Cake. My decision was made.
I also thought it was pretty coincedental that I had just made some Gingered Rhubarb Compote. The author had mentioned in her blurb that this cake is delicious served with fresh fruit and ice cream or whipped cream. I knew that the rhubarb compote would be a perfect topping.
I pretty much followed the recipe as written, however I didn't use any parchment to line my pan, just baking spray, and I didn't have whole milk so used 2 percent. I am including the rhubarb compote in my printable recipe. Feel free to ignore that and use whatever topping you want but trust me when I tell you that this Gingered Rhubarb Compote was perfect on top of this sweet, fluffy cake.

One Egg Dinner Cake with Gingered Rhubarb Compote
This light, fluffy cake is the perfect start to a wonderful dessert. It takes only minutes to throw together and you only need one egg and items found in every cook's pantry.

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 1 HourTotal time: 1 H & 20 M
Ingredients
Compote
- 1 lb diced rhubarb
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 t. ginger paste
- 1 T. water
One Egg Dinner Cake
- 2 c. flour
- 3 t. baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 t. vanilla
- 3/4 c. milk (I used 2%)
Instructions
Gingered Rhubarb Compote
- Place the rhubarb, sugar, ginger and water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Cook stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, the rhubarb is soft and breaking down but still has some form and the sauce is thickened. Remove to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Great for use as a topping for cakes, pancakes, ice cream and waffles.
One Egg Dinner Cake
- Cream the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. With the speed turned to low add one third of the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Stir in 1/2 of the milk followed by another third of the flour mixture, the remaining milk and finishing with the remaining flour mixture. Increase speed and beat until smooth.
- Pour into a 9" round cake pan that has been treated with baking spray. Bake in a preheated 350* oven for about an 45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center removes cleanly.
- Let cool in pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with Gingered Rhubarb Compote or your favorite topping.

You and Cam must be on the same wave length! Farm fresh eggs! How fun.
ReplyDeleteYes, I only have three hens left and they are getting old so I'm lucky to get one or two eggs a week anymore. Frank doesn't want to replace them so we are just letting them live out their retirement in comfort and I have been getting my eggs from a friend.
DeleteYour cake looks delicious, and that compote looks like something I need to make! What do you normally serve it with?
ReplyDeleteI have served the compote over ice cream and also on top of pancakes.
DeleteThat's the cake I made, too. We served ours a la mode with chocolate sauce. Delicious.
ReplyDeleteI saw that. It looked delicious.
DeleteSounds and looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy.
