Rhubarb Snack Cake with Yogurt and Olive Oil

May 4, 2020 by SabCurrie 16 Comments

Celebrate Spring with Rhubarb Cake!

Hello Spring! Rhubarb is finally in full swing and I am celebrating with this moist and delicious Rhubarb Snack Cake. Made with yogurt and olive oil, this loaf style cake has a tender crumb and will keep well all week…if it lasts that long!

Yogurt and Olive Oil for a Rich, Tender and Moist Cake

Yogurt adds tang and tenderness to this snack cake and a lot of moisture so it will take almost an hour to bake in a loaf pan, depending on how hot your oven cooks. I chose olive oil for this cake to add a subtle depth of flavour but of course you can substitute regular vegetable oil if you like. A hint of cloves warms the flavour further. I used all purpose flour but you can substitute half the regular flour for whole wheat or whole grain with good results.

Easy Recipes are the Best Recipes

Like almost all of my recipes, this has a small ingredient list and is really quick to throw together, the time is simply in the baking. Just 9 everyday pantry ingredients plus rhubarb and you are on your way to coffee time bliss. If you prefer muffins instead of a loaf, go for it but reduce the baking time substantially (35-40 min). Be gentle if slicing it while still warm, it will slice much better once cooled.

Rhubarb is an Easy Perennial to Grow

Rhubarb is truly one of my favourite things that I grow in my garden. Technically a vegetable, it is tart which makes it great for keeping desserts from becoming cloying. It is easy to snap off the stalks and fast to rinse clean. Don’t forget to dip your first rhubarb of the year in a little sugar and eat raw for a fresh spring treat. (Check out West Coast Seeds for more info on growing your own rhubarb)

Rhubarb grows well in our PNW climate because it is quite hardy. It likes a fair bit of sun and will do best with fairly good, fertile soil. This easy to grow vegetable is a perennial meaning you only have to plant it once and it should last 10 years or even longer if divided every 4 or 5 years. One word of caution, do NOT eat the leaves.

    Fantastic cake, with wonderful texture! I adore rhubarb, and it’s always so nice to see it given a starring role in a recipe. It’s so much fun (in my opinion, anyway) to bake with olive oil and yogurt too. Fantastic stuff!

      Thank Sean! I agree, olive oil especially doesn’t see many appearances in baking but it can be subtle and delicious.

    I made this today Sabrina and had it with my afternoon tea. Very tasty and I liked the yogurt tart coming through. Not too sweet but not too tart. Thanks.

        I have not had great success so far here. But this year looks better and I have more time to look after things.

          I have been moving my rhubarb around, it seems to want more sun than it previously had. So far it’s looking better this year so hopefully that continues.
