How to Make Rhubarb Strawberry Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
  2. Grease and flour an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish.
  3. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 cup sliced strawberries.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Reserve 1/2 cup of the fruit mixture. Pour the remaining fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Pour the batter evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
  10. Drizzle the reserved 1/2 cup fruit mixture over the top of the batter.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
