  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Cream the softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract.
