Grandma's Rhubarb Torte Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and flour.
Step 2: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate large bowl, cream together the eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 5: Fold in the chopped rhubarb leaves to the batter.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7: Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the torte comes out clean. Let the torte cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- If you don't have fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb that has been thawed according to package instructions.
- You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.
- Serve the torte warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the perfect sweet treat.
