Description

A comforting dessert featuring tart rhubarb balanced with a rich butter sauce, perfect for any spring gathering.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups of chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the chopped rhubarb with 1 cup of sugar in a bowl and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a larger bowl, combine the melted butter, remaining sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until well blended.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the rhubarb until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving with warm butter sauce.

Notes

For a zesty twist, add citrus zest. Store leftover cake in an airtight container for up to three days.
