How to Make Almond Rhubarb Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups chopped rhubarb and ½ cup sliced almonds.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. For the topping: In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Stir in ¼ cup sliced almonds.
  8. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in each pan.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
