Rhubarb ideas

I stew it gently and then add some preserved ginger, cut up, from a jar, with a bit of its syrup too - it's a nice combination and works well for fool too. I also used to have a recipe for a rhubarb streusel cake which was yum, but can't find it - anyone else got one ? And you could do rhubarb muffins I think.

Hi,

I had a delicious cake yesterday. It was a traybake sponge baked with rhubarb on the top. I've had a look in the index and on bbc and uktv food but to no avail. Does anyone have a recipe as I'd love to make it.

Thank you.

I found a recipe for Rhubarb, Cinnamon and Orange Cake on Nigella's site. It sounds delicious, with the rhubarb baked underneath the sponge. You could cool it and turn it over!

I sometimes make a muffin cake in a tray -basic muffin batter poured over some chopped fruit. Rhubarb works well. Toss it in sugar and grease the tin with lots of butter then you'll have a sticky syrup.Gooseberries, currants, apples, plums and chopped peaches are good too

I sometimes make a rhubarb crumble cake. The base is just a sponge mixture-made with 4 oz marg, 4 oz sugar, 6oz self raising flour and 2 eggs.

I usually use a lined eight inch square tin for baking.

Top the sponge with a single layer of rhubarb.

Then top with a crumble made with 3 oz butter, 3 oz sugar, 4 oz SR flour, 1 tbs water.

Bake for about 1 1/4 hours gas mark 4.

This can be eaten hot as a pudding, cold as a cake and it freezes well.You make it as a tray bake but it would probably need a shorter cooking time

Thank you. I made the rhubarb, cinnamon and orange cake, very delicious. Next time I'll put a tray under my springform tin, juice from the rhubarb leaked out leaving a very horrible black sticky mess in my oven! My neighbour gave me more rhubarb today, which recipe to try next???

Mum gave me a large box of frozen rhubarb and kids not desperately keen. What are your best ways of getting this into some form of cake or pud that they will eat. Presumably with great quantities of sugar...........

Actually, I have some of those dates in a block, those are nice stewed in with the dates..... I can do some of that and have for my breakfast with some of the HM yoghurt that is yogging at the mo!

A cake or pudding disguise would be good too. it's a biggish box

My kids aren't keen either so I make jelly. Bake rhubarb with sugar and a little orange juice until tender. It should give off lots of juice. Use this juice to make a jelly with gelatine. The gelatine leaves are easiest to use but granular stuff is a lot cheaper.

Rhubarb fool is another good way of disguising the texture -just puree cooked sweetened rhubarb and fold in whipped cream and/or thick yogurt. I think a little pink food colouring helps as stewed rhubarb is not the prettiest of colours.

Or, cook it gently so that it still holds its shape and add to muffins.
