This is another recipe from my Mom, in the Mennonite tradition. It has a cake like base, fruit topping of your choice, and a wonderful streusel topping. When the aroma of it fills the house the kids come running. Read more My favorite fruit to use is , of course, rhubarb! See less
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 3 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs lightly beaten shopping list
- 1 tsp vanilla ( or almond extract for cherry filling) shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk shopping list
- 1/2 cup butter shopping list
- ******************************************************* shopping list
- Topping: shopping list
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 cup flour shopping list
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup butter shopping list
How to make it
- Sift ( I stir) dry ingredients
- Rub or cut in firm butter ( or shortening) to make fine crumbs.
- Add milk and vanilla to beaten eggs.
- Pour into crumb mixture and combine to form a soft dough. I mix it til just combined and then knead it a few times on a lightly floured surface, adding flour if too sticky to handle.
- Pat evenly onto a greased jelly roll pan or cookie sheet, with greased hands
- Top with about 6 cups finely chopped rhubarb ( apples, plums, peaches, apricots,blueberries etc.,can also be used. I've even done half one fruit half another. Canned fruit works well too. I usually sprinkle on a little extra sugar if its a tangy fruit such as rhubarb)
- Combine/rub together topping ingredients to make crumbs that hold together when you squeeze the mixture. Depending on fruit you could add a bit of cinnamon here.
- Crumble over cake and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden.
- Prep time doesn't account for the time it takes you to cut up the fresh fruit.
- This cake is best served the same day it is prepared as the crust gets moist under the fruit if left too long. Refrigeration tends to dry it out.
- Excellent served warm ,with or without ice cream, alongside a nice cup of coffee.
