Description

Rhubarb Custard Cake Recipe, a delightful treat that combines the tangy goodness of rhubarb with a creamy custard layer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 5g baking powder
  • 2g baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 150g granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 5ml vanilla extract
  • 120ml milk
  • 300g rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
  • 100g custard powder (or vanilla pudding mix)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. Chop the rhubarb into small pieces and rinse under cold water.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients: sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth, then stir in the milk. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
  4. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, custard powder, and sugar over medium heat until thickened into a smooth custard.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, then gently pour the custard over the batter and swirl together. Bake for 35–40 minutes.

Notes

  • Fresh rhubarb is ideal, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better results.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance for better flavor.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
