Description

A tender, buttery cake studded with fresh strawberries and rhubarb, swirled with creamy white chocolate, and finished with a light sugar crust. Sweet, tart, and irresistibly springy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb (½-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips or chopped bar
  • Optional: extra sugar for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and yogurt. Mix well.
  4. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Toss rhubarb and strawberries with 1 tsp flour. Fold into batter with white chocolate.
  6. Pour into pan, smooth top, and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pan 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool fully before slicing.

Notes

  • Use fresh fruit when in season for best results.
  • Let cake cool completely before slicing to keep it from crumbling.
  • Great served with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
