Clotton Creamery
Rhubarb and Custard Cake
Rhubarb and custard is one of those combinations that never really goes out of style.
This simple cake layers roasted rhubarb through a soft sponge made with our fresh vanilla custard, before being served with even more custard poured over the top.
Perfect for spring afternoons, pudding after Sunday lunch or something sweet to share with a cup of tea.
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients:
- 2 stalks of rhubarb, chopped
- 1 tub (330g) Clotton Creamery fresh vanilla custard
- 125g softened butter
- 125g caster sugar (plus a spoonful for the rhubarb)
- 125g self-raising flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 large eggs
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan) / Gas 6. Place the chopped rhubarb in a baking tray, toss with a spoonful of sugar, and arrange in a single layer. Cover with foil and roast for 15 mins. Remove the foil and roast for another 5 mins until tender. Drain the excess juice and leave to cool.
- Lower the oven to 180C (160C fan) / Gas 4. Butter and line a 20cm loose-bottomed or springform cake tin.
- Beat 75g of the custard together with the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, and eggs until smooth.
- Spoon a third of the batter into the tin, then scatter over a third of the roasted rhubarb. Repeat this process two more times to build the layers.
- Bake for 40 mins. Cover loosely with foil and bake for a further 10 mins until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in the tin. Serve in generous slices with the rest of the custard poured over.
