A delicious springtime cake recipe, Strawberry Rhubarb Pudding Cake is a magic pudding cake where the fruit mixture is poured over top of the cake batter and while baking sinks to the bottom of the cake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, strawberries, and ¾ cup sugar. Cook over medium heat for 12 minutes, or until fruit is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, cream the butter, and the remaining ½ cup of sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the milk. Beat until just combined.
Pour into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Pour the rhubarb sauce over the cake batter.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
