Ingredients
Rhubarb compote ingredients
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 7.5 mL cornstarch
- 400 grams fresh rhubarb cut into ¼″ pieces
Buckwheat cake ingredients
- 40 grams bleached all-purpose flour
- 40 grams buckwheat flour
- 2.5 mL baking powder
- 0.625 mL Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt
- 75 grams unsalted butter room temperature
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 2.5 mL pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg(s)
- 45 mL whole milk (3.25 % fat)
Instructions
To make the rhubarb compote
- In a medium pot, stir together the sugar and cornstarch with a wooden spoon. Add the chopped rhubarb and toss to coat then heat on medium to release the juices from the fruit, and to thicken the compote, stirring constantly.
- When the compote has simmered for at least 5 minutes and the mixture is thickened significantly, take the pot off the heat.
- Divide the mixture among 6 ramekins and set them aside while you make the cake batter.
To make the buckwheat cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt in a bowl, and set this aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and the sugar for 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat well until the batter is smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beating the batter just until smooth and all the ingredients are incorporated.
- Top the ramekins of compote with the cake batter and bake for about 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake layer comes out clean.
- Serve these cakes warm or cold.
Notes
- This recipe calls for Diamond Crystal fine Kosher salt. If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the recipe may be too salty!
