RHUBARB GOOEY BUTTER CAKE BARS



Rhubarb Gooey Butter Cake Bars image

A riff on the classic gooey butter cake, these custardy dessert bars (made easy with Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix!) are filled with chopped rhubarb. If you only have fresh rhubarb on hand, or it's not in season and frozen is available, this recipe can work equally well with whichever you have on hand. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or top with a from-scratch sweetened whipped cream for an added level of deliciousness! It's a great potluck treat and travels well.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the cake.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Conclusion:

This versatile cake recipe can be used to make a variety of delicious desserts. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, it's a great choice for bakers of all skill levels.
