How to Make Rhubarb Custard Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the rhubarb compote: Combine 2 cups chopped frozen rhubarb, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) in a medium bowl. Gently mix until the sugar is slightly dissolved. Set aside.
  3. Prepare your favorite yellow cake mix according to package directions. (Typically this involves adding eggs, oil, and water – follow the box instructions carefully).
  4. Pour the prepared cake batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan and spread evenly.
  5. Evenly distribute the rhubarb compote over the top of the cake batter.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently pour the whipped cream over the rhubarb layer.
  7. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon, if desired.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake will rise, and a delicious rhubarb sauce will form on the bottom.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
