Servings 16 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (see below for gluten-free alternative)
  • 2 cups strawberries (washed, dried as much as possible, and chopped very small)
  • 1 cup rhubarb thinly sliced and chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip or shorten this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Add the rhubarb and strawberries and stir to mix throughout.
  • Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. (43 minutes typically works for me.) Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Gluten Free Substitution: 1 ¼ cup brown rice flour + ½ cup potato starch + ¼ cup tapioca starch + 1 teaspoon xanthan gum may be substituted for the amount of all-purpose flour listed in the ingredients above.
