1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar
2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb stalks (10 ounces)
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (5 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Stir together water, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a small saucepan, then stir in rhubarb. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in strawberries.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl.
  • Whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup fruit mixture, then add remainder to baking dish and pour batter over it, spreading evenly. Drizzle reserved 1/2 cup fruit mixture over batter. Bake until a wooden pick inserted into center of cake portion comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a tangier pudding cake, use more lemon juice and zest. For a sweeter cake, reduce the amount of lemon juice and add more sugar.
  • If you don't have any fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb instead. Just thaw it before using.
  • To make sure your pudding cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Serve the pudding cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned rhubarb pudding cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. The combination of sweet and tart rhubarb, creamy custard, and fluffy cake is simply irresistible. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try.
