Sticky Rhubarb Pudding: A Delicious Dessert

If you’re searching for a warm, comforting dessert that brings together the bold tang of rhubarb and the soft, spoonable richness of pudding cake, look no further than this Sticky Rhubarb Pudding.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
  • ¾ cup sugar (divided)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup boiling water

Ingredient Notes:

  • Rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb gives a bright, tart flavor and vibrant color. If using frozen, no need to thaw first—see tips below.
  • Brown sugar + cornstarch: These form the sticky sauce layer as the pudding bakes.
  • Butter and milk: Add richness and softness to the cake layer.

Instructions

  • Don’t stir after adding hot water: The layering is intentional and essential for the self-saucing effect.
  • Use a glass or ceramic baking dish: Metal pans can cause the rhubarb to discolor.
  • Adjust sugar to taste: If your rhubarb is very tart, increase the sugar slightly.
