Rhubarb Raspberry Coffee Cake

Recipe from Cottage Life magazine, April/May 1998. It won first prize in a contest. A tasty combination of rhubarb, raspberries, blueberries or cherries. Vary the fruits according to seasons such as strawberries, apples, peaches, plums, pears, blackberries. I used recipe #78579 to grease the pan.

This cake is spectacularly yummy! It is fruity, sweet, tart and just mmm moreish! :) The crust is very airy and spongy with great flavour and the crumbs are sooo great, very flakey and crisp. Everybody loved this and I will surely make it again and again and again.<br/>For the fruit I used rhubarb, banana and apple, which was a yummy combination and worked out well. Due to my bananas being very ripe, I reduced the sugar in the topping to 1/2 cup. That was plenty for us. I also added about 1/2 tbs of vanilla extract to the topping mix.<br/>To make this a bit nuttier I used half whole spelt flour.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this amazing recipe with us, foodtvfan, I cant believe noone ever made this since 2009! <br/>Made and reviewed for PRMR Tag Game May 2011.2Reply
