There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Rhubarb Cake - Untested

https://www.papillesetpupilles.fr/2015/04/gateau-a-la-rhubarbe.html/

0 - Not sure about this one now. It looks like just another version of one of the other rhubarb cakes I already am testing.

=> for the filling:
500g rhubarb, peeled and cubed into 1" pieces
75g butter, cubed
100g brown sugar

=> for the cake batter
100g butter, cubed
100g brown sugar
3 eggs
200g flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar
  1. Prepare the rhubarb. Remove the ends, peel the stems and wash them. Cut into cubes about 2 cm.
  2. Cut 75 g butter into cubes. Put them in a cake pan add the brown sugar and put in the oven for ten minutes at 175F or until the ingredients melt together and lightly caramelize. Remove from the oven and put in the pieces of rhubarb.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F.
  4. Meanwhile, cut the butter into cubes. Whip it until you get a creamy consistency. Add the sugar and whip again. Then add the eggs, then the flour, the milk, the vanilla and the baking powder.
  5. Pour this cake batter over the pieces of rhubarb and cook for 40 minutes.
  6. Once baked, take the cake out of the oven and wait 10 minutes before turning it onto a serving dish; it should come out of the mold on its own.
  7. Let cool completely before eating.


(moule à manqué de 24 cm)

=> Pour la pâte à gâteau :

100 g de beurre
100 g de sucre roux
3 oeufs bio
200 g de farine
125 ml de lait 1/2 écrémé
1 sachet de levure chimique
1 sachet de sucre vanillé
=> pour la garniture :

500 g de rhubarbe (épluchée)
75 g de beurre
100 g de sucre roux

  1. Préparez la rhubarbe. Enlevez les extrémités, effilez-les tiges et lavez-les. Coupez-les en dés d’environ 2 cm de côté.
  2. Coupez 75 g de beurre en dés. Mettez-les dans un moule à manqué, ajoutez le sucre roux et mettez au four pendant une dizaine de minutes à 80 degrés, le temps que cela fonde et que cela caramélise légèrement. Sortez ensuite du four et mettez les morceaux de rhubarbe dedans.
  3. Préchauffez le four à 180°C (thermostat 6), chaleur tournante.
  4. Pendant ce temps, coupez les 100 g de beurre en dés. Fouettez-le jusqu’à obtenir une consistance crémeuse. Ajoutez le sucre et fouettez à nouveau. Incorporez ensuite les oeufs, puis la farine, le lait, le sucre vanillé et la levure chimique.
  5. Versez cette pâte à gâteau sur les morceaux de rhubarbe et faites cuire 40 minutes.
  6. Au bout de ce laps de temps, sortez le gâteau du four et attendez 10 minutes. Retournez-le ensuite sur le plat de service, il va se démouler tout seul.
  7. Laissez refroidir avant de le déguster.
