Baked Sticky Rhubarb Pudding (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 240 ml whole milk
02 - 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
03 - 190 g all-purpose flour
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
06 - 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
07 - 220 g light brown sugar, packed
08 - 115 g unsalted butter, softened

→ Sticky Topping

09 - 60 ml light corn syrup
10 - 120 ml heavy cream

→ Fruit Layer

11 - 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
12 - 200 g granulated sugar
13 - 4 cups (about 500 g) rhubarb, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Let everything rest for a bit so it’s not piping hot. Grab a scoop while it’s warm—vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream goes great with it.
02 - Pour the warmed topping right over the batter. Slide the dish into the oven. It’ll take 45 to 50 minutes. You’re looking for a golden top and a toothpick that comes out almost clean from the center.
03 - Get a small pan, gently warm up cream and corn syrup over medium. You just need them cozy, don’t let it boil.
04 - Once your batter’s ready, pour it right over the rhubarb. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
05 - Add your dry mix into the butter batter bit by bit, swapping back and forth with the milk. Stir until all the lumps are gone.
06 - Grab another bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, and salt so they’re blended.
07 - In a big bowl, use a mixer to blend soft butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until nice and light. Toss in the egg, whip again until totally mixed.
08 - Lay down the chopped rhubarb in your greased pan. Shake over the sugar, then drizzle with lemon juice. Push it aside for now.
09 - Fire up the oven to 175°C. Butter up a 23 by 33 cm baking dish real good.

# Notes:

01 - Fresh rhubarb’s top-notch if you can find it. Using frozen? Make sure it’s thawed and squeeze out extra water before using.
