Inspiration can strike in the most mundane moments. When I spotted the fresh rhubarb stems and juicy raspberries at the market stall, I knew I had to bake something. The unique kick and acidity of these fruits begged to be balanced with a rich, buttery crumble. This Raspberry & Rhubarb Crumble Cake is the perfect, easy, and decadent dessert for spring.
Preheat the oven at 180°C (or 160°C fan).
Peel and dice the rhubarb into big chunks and cook them on the hob at medium heat with a teaspoon of water until tender.
In a bowl, combine the two sugars and the eggs.
Add the melted butter, the milk, and combine.
In another bowl, combine the flour and the baking powder.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into an oven dish lined with baking paper.
Add the cooked rhubarb without the juice and the raspberries on top of the batter and set aside.
In a bowl, prepare the crumble: rub together the flour, sugar, and butter until it forms lumps.
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the fruits.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until golden.
Enjoy!
