RHUBARB & ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Tip the rhubarb into a bowl and sprinkle over 50g of the sugar. Stir so the rhubarb is covered, then set aside for 30 mins to draw out some of the juices (macerate). Meanwhile, grease and line the base and sides of a 23cm loose-bottomed, round cake tin with baking parchment and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Tip remaining sugar, the butter, orange zest and juice into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until well blended. Add the flour, almonds, baking powder and eggs, then beat again until smooth. Fold in the rhubarb and any juices. Spoon into the tin and level the top.
• Sprinkle with the flaked almonds, then bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until risen, golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover with foil if the cake starts to brown too much during cooking. Leave in the tin for 15 mins before removing and cooling completely on a wire rack. Dust with a little icing sugar before serving.

• Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined. Add ½ cup of buttermilk to the batter and stir until combined. Repeat with the second half of the dry ingredients and then the other half of the buttermilk. Stir the batter just until combined.
• Once the batter is combined add 2 cups of finely chopped rhubarb. Using a Microplane or small zester add the zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Fold the rhubarb and zest into the batter just until combined.
• Spread the batter evenly across the bottom of the pan (the batter will be kind of sticky).
• In a small bowl combine ¼ cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
• Place the cake in the oven and bake for 38-40 minutes. (Baking times may vary slightly. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean).
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool before serving.

CINNAMON RHUBARB BREAD

Steps:

• For the cinnamon rhubarb bread:Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly spray the insides of two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans and set aside.In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in sugar, oil, applesauce, and vanilla.Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring until just moistened, taking care to not over-mix. Reserve a few pieces of the rhubarb. Fold the rest of the rhubarb into the batter and then divide batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Poke the reserved rhubarb pieces into the top of the bread, for a pretty effect. Bake about 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center of each loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes.Loosen edges and remove loaves from pans. Cool loaves completely on wire racks.For the brown-butter glaze:Once the loaves have cooled, prepare the brown-butter glaze. First, pour half-and-half into a small bowl and set aside. This is just to take the chill off, while you prepare the rest of the glaze.Add sifted powdered sugar to a medium-sized bowl and set aside.In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm butter until golden brown and foaming, stirring occasionally. This should take about 6-8 minutes. The butter should smell delicious and toasty. If it smells burnt, you went too far. Carefully pour browned butter into the powdered sugar, leaving all but the darkest butter sediment behind. Add 1 tablespoon of the half-and-half, and then add the vanilla. Stir vigorously until smooth. You want the glaze to be somewhat thick, but easily pourable. If it seems too thick, add a bit more of the half-and-half until you like the consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the loaves while the glaze is still warm.
