Rhubarb Crumb Bars - Everyday Food with Sarah Carey

Описание: Rhubarb season isn't long -- so cook with it whenever you can! Today, I'm using it to create one of my favorite seasonal (and simple!) desserts: rhubarb crumb bars.

Sarah's Tip of the Day:
To make the bar's base, you'll combine rhubarb with flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, confectioners' sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Next, you'll make a streusel from a bit more butter, brown sugar, salt, and flour. Sprinkle the topping on the rhubarb mixture, bake, slice, and serve this crowd-pleasing sweet treat!

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 1 1/4 hours, plus cooling
Makes 16
Serves 16

Ingredients:
For The Streusel
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
For The Cake
1/2 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter and flour parchment and pan, tapping out excess flour.

Make streusel: Whisk together butter, brown sugar, and salt. Add flour and mix with a fork until large crumbs form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Make cake: In a medium bowl, combine rhubarb, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup flour. In another medium bowl, whisk 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, one at a time. With mixer on low, beat in vanilla, then flour mixture. Spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle with rhubarb and top with streusel.

Bake cake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely in pan. Using paper overhang, lift cake from pan. Cut into 16 bars.
