Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Toss rhubarb & flour in a small bowl.
  3. Pour ¼ cup melted butter into a 9" round pan. Top with brown sugar. Arrange the rhubarb mixture on the brown sugar. Set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, lemon zest, & a pinch of salt.
  3. Add flour mixture alternately with the milk to the butter mixture. Stir just until combined.
  4. Spread the batter over the rhubarb mixture and bake 32-36 minutes or just until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • To add strawberries, reduce the rhubarb to 2 1/2 cups and add 1 1/2 cups of fresh strawberries. Toss the berries with the flour and proceed with the rest of the recipe as written.
  • It is important to wait 15 minutes before turning the cake over to allow the topping to set.
  • Leftover cake will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. 
  • To freeze: Let cool, wrap, and then store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
