Rhubarb Coffee Cake

Farm-Tested Recipes · June 9, 2009 · Last Updated: May 9, 2020

Rhubarb.  Just seeing the word in print is enough to make my mouth water.  It’s in profusion here on the farm this time of year. And when my cousins were visiting last week, we found opportunity to bake and consume more than one rhubarb dish! The coffee cake below is a longtime favorite around here that my mother-in-law found and adapted (after all, what is coffee cake without oatmeal on top?!).

Of course, the fact that we will have red ripe strawberries this week means that I’m going to have to go hunting for the perfect strawberry rhubarb pie recipe…because we all know that is rhubarb in its perfected state!  Strawberry pie in and of itself is too sweet for me, but strawberry rhubarb pie is a taste of heaven on earth…which I’ve been much too long without!
