Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake

July 17, 2015 by Barb 3 Comments

Rhubarb Strawberry Coffee Cake is one of our family’s favourite spring treats. It’s quick and easy to make, and usually shows up at our breakfast table.

Served with coffee, I can’t think of a better way to start the day!

But looking at this photo … you may ask … where are the strawberries? Well, technically there are no strawberries, it’s a secret ingredient which lends an amazing moistness and flavour that can’t be beat.

The top layer will look something like this … blobs of batter (try to spread them out as much as you can, but don’t stress about the mess) …

It will end up looking pretty good … rustic perhaps:
