Claire Saffitz Makes Rhubarb Cake | Dessert Person Let me tell you a story about rhubarb. It’s a vegetable -- a stalk more specifically -- that grows every spring and has a piercing tart flavor and pretty ruby red hue. Some people don’t like the flavor, but those people don’t get what a special flavor and texture it has! In this rhubarb cake, Claire uses it three ways -- placed in decorative rows on top, cooked down into mush and incorporated into the batter, and chopped and folded into the cake. It’s a celebration of rhubarb, a harbinger of warm weather and an inspiration to dessert people everywhere. #ClaireSaffitz​​ #Baking​​ #Cake Rhubarb Cake Special Equipment: 4 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch loaf pan, measured from the top Ingredients: 1 pound (454g) rhubarb stalks Butter and demerara sugar for the pan 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (8 oz / 228g) 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (0.35 oz / 10g) 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (8.8 oz / 250g) 1 stick unsalted butter ( 4 oz / 113g) melted and cooled 2 large eggs (3.5 oz / 100g) 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest 1/3 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt (2.8 oz / 80g) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Demerara sugar, for sprinkling the top. 0:00 Start 0:11 Intro to Rhubarb Cake 0:28 Dessert Person Intro/Animation 0:46 Claire Talks About Rhubarb 2:00 Ingredients and Special Equipment 2:46 Prepare The Pan 4:52 Prepare The Rhubarb 6:28 Make The Compote 9:15 Build The Cake 15:56 How To Bake Rhubarb Cake 17:46 Slice & Taste! 19:35 Return of Penelope as Rhubarb/Moose as Croissant Sorry...
