Indulgent Rhubarb crumb bars with a crispy streusel topping designed by Martha Stewart.
Ingredients:
  • 3 stalks rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 1.5cm pieces
  • 16.00 gm brown sugar
  • 500.00 ml plain flour
  • 2.00 gm baking powder
  • 1.20 gm salt
  • 125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 150.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2.20 gm vanilla extract
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 90.00 gm brown sugar
  • 0.60 gm salt
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease a 6cm-deep, 20cm square cake pan, then line the base and sides with baking paper, making sure to extend the paper 5cm above the edges of the pan.
  • Prepare Streusel: Combine butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then mix in flour. Use a fork to create large crumbs, then chill until needed.
  • In a bowl, mix rhubarb, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup flour together. Set aside. Whisk remaining flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until combined. Mix in vanilla and flour mixture until just combined. Spoon batter into pan, spread with a spatula, sprinkle with rhubarb, and top with streusel.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then lift it out, cut into 16 pieces, and serve.
