Ingredients
To create this scrumptious cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to whip up your delicious rhubarb pudding cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish, preferably 9×13 inches.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with 1 cup of sugar. Let it sit while preparing the batter.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the remaining sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined. The batter will be a bit thick, which is okay!
- Spread the batter evenly in the greased baking dish, then pour the rhubarb mixture over the batter (do not stir).
- Carefully pour the boiling water over everything. This will create a lovely pudding layer underneath the cake as it bakes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. The pudding will be bubbling around the edges.
Once baked, let the cake cool for a bit before serving. This dessert is exquisite on its own but can be even more delightful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy your slice of sweetness!
