Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake

We have a rhubarb patch, so I'm always looking for recipes featuring this "fruit". I've served this coffee cake to people who say they don't like rhubarb, and they've always told me how much they enjoyed it.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb
  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup cold butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • TOPPING:
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter

Directions

  • 1. In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in rhubarb and strawberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice. Cool.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. In another bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla; stir in crumb mixture just until moistened. Spoon two-thirds of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
