Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 3 cups Rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold in the chopped rhubarb gently with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using the back of a spoon or spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy a tangy-sweet treat!
