Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 2 cups Rhubarb, Chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter, Softened
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Milk

Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare rhubarb: Chop enough rhubarb to make 2 cups and set aside.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Prepare wet mixture: In a separate bowl, cream together sugar and softened butter. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in milk.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Make the butter sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • You can serve the cake warm with a drizzle of the butter sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Feel free to top the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
