Description

A delightful dessert featuring a creamy custard base and tart rhubarb, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Set aside to let it macerate for about 10 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. The batter will be somewhat thick.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish or cake pan. Evenly distribute the macerated rhubarb over the top of the batter. Sprinkle ground nutmeg over the rhubarb.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter version, increase the sugar to 1 1/4 cups.
  • You can substitute the rhubarb with fresh strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
  • For a richer taste, add a teaspoon of almond extract in place of vanilla.
