Cake Recipe Ingredients
1/2 cup of unsalted butter (room temp)
1 cup icing sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. lemon zest
2 eggs
1/3 cup of brown rice flour, fine variety is best
1/3 cup quinoa
2 tblsp. of almond flour
1/2 tsp. of baking powder
1/4 tsp. of salt
Mulberries and rhubarb will be added to the top of the cake, so be sure don't mix them in with batter
1/2 cup mulberries very ripe
1 cup chopped up rhubarb
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Cream the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs. Add the dry ingredients next and mix well.
Pour the cake batter evenly into a 9" square baking dish. Now sprinkle the rhubarb and mulberries evenly over the top.
Sprinkle your chilled crumble mixture over this nice and evenly. You may not want to spread the whole mixture on the batter. If you have crumble leftovers, they can be frozen in an air-tight container to be used later on with another recipe.
Bake the crumble cake for 35 minutes; do the toothpick test by inserting into the middle. If it comes out clean, your cake is done and ready to let cool.
Once cooled, cut your rhubarb-mulberry-crumb-cake into small squares and enjoy.
