I often make strawberry rhubarb pie and wanted to try something new. Dolloped with cream cheese frosting sliced strawberries and pecans. Everyone at the party loved it. Thank you for sharing Grandma Moyer's recipe!
I thought this would be much tangier than it is. If I make it again I will replace the strawberries with more rhubarb - and I will lessen the sugar. Otherwise a VERY moist cake. A dollop or two of whipped cream helped by the way.
I was skeptical at first because the recipe didn't call for any butter or oil but it really didn't need any! After reading other reviews I added 1 T. of lemon juice to the fruit before folding it into the batter and that gave it a subtle brightness. Next time I might try substituting pineapple and mandarin oranges for strawberries & rhubarb perhaps with coconut on top. This is a good basic recipe thank you for posting it!
this is really good cake. But I have found that the strawberries can be replaced with other fruits too and still is really nice addition to flavor. try cherry's pie filling or raspberries yum yum trying it with blueberries next I like to use fresh of whats in season.... but truely love rhubarb all by it's self too and when doing just rhubarb I have just replace the amount of rhubarb for the other berries you wont be sorry trying this recipe it get's high remarks and request here........
I lost my recipe for rhubarb cake. This one is very close & I love the addition of strawberries.
Made no changes at all. It was very moist and the cake was not too sweet. My only issue was that the rhubarb was not quite as tart as I like it to be. Could it have been because the rhubarb had been picked 7 days prior? Made half without strawberries and both sides were just as delicious. Will definitely make again.
Thank you Grandma Moyer!!! This is the best coffee cake our family has ever eaten! Due to the moisture content of the strawberries I roasted them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. This removes some of the excess water making the coffee cake not as "soggy" in the middle. Absolutely a delish dessert! I've already made 3 cakes!!!
I added a crumb topping of butter oats cinnamon and brown sugar. WOW!
