A delightful spring and summer dessert with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy rhubarb flavors.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually add this to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just blended.
  5. Fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure rhubarb is evenly chopped for consistent cooking. Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
