Our garden is full of beautiful rhubarb and since it only grows this time of year, I’m busy making my favorite recipes! Rhubarb sauces, rhubarb cocktails, rhubarb muffins and here, an easy rhubarb cobbler. Rhubarb is very tart, so it does require added sugar but the amount will depend on your tartness tolerance. I like my rhubarb tart, even in desserts, so the amount of sugar added in this recipe is just enough to balance the sour and the sweet. This cobbler comes together fast and although delicious as is, you can top it with some yogurt, ice cream or whipped cream.
2 tablespoons butter, melted ½ cup brown sugar, packed 6 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1 ½ cup white whole wheat flour 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 eggs ½ cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Set oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine the butter and ½ cup brown sugar in the bottom of the baking dish and spread out evenly. Top with rhubarb. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour over rhubarb. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Serve as is or with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or vanilla yogurt. Note: Rhubarb dipped in sugar is nature’s Sour Patch Kids. My children would pick the stalks right from the garden, dip the ends in sugar, and munch on the celery-like stalks. As a reminder, you CAN NOT eat the leaves of rhubarb because they contain a toxin that can make you sick. Judymatusky.comRhubarb Cobbler
