This old-fashioned specialty is best made in the spring, when the rhubarb is especially tender.
Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped rhubarb
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. shortening
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, combine rhubarb and brown sugar, mix well, and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp. of the melted butter, eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, vanilla, and sugar. Beat with a heavy whisk until a smooth batter is formed.
Step 3
Grease a 9" × 11" pan with shortening. Pour in the batter. Spread rhubarb over batter and smooth it down so that the top is even. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp. butter. Bake for 40 minutes. Serve warm.
