This no-hassle mix-and-bake dessert is like the old-fashioned cake Grandma always had ready after dinner, even though you never saw her working on it. Ingredients:
1/4 cup water |
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup sugar |
2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb stalks (10 ounces) |
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries (5 ounces) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup whole milk |
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter an 8-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish.
2. Stir together water, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a small saucepan, then stir in rhubarb. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, then simmer, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in strawberries.
3. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl.
4. Whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl, then whisk in flour mixture until just combined.
