Rhubarb Butter Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 6 tablespoons Cooper's Mill Rhubarb Jam or Rhubarb Strawberry Jam
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 7"×11" rectangular or 9" round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with an electric mixer for a few minutes until smooth.
- Gradually add the confectioner's sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the lightly beaten eggs and mix for one minute until well combined.
- Gradually add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Beat until just smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the cake batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
- Drop dollops of Cooper's Mill Rhubarb Jam evenly over the surface of the batter.
- Using a knife or skewer, lightly swirl the jam into the batter to create beautiful pockets of fruity goodness.
- Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before turning it out onto a serving plate.
- For the final touch, drizzle with a simple vanilla glaze or dust generously with confectioner's sugar before serving.
