Easy Rhubarb Cake Recipe: Mom's Delicious Dessert

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• salt
• 0.5 cup margarine
• 0.67 cup evaporated milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 pounds rhubarb, cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1 (3 ounce) package raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix
• 1 cup white sugar, divided
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup butter, softened

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the margarine using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, stir in the evaporated milk and beaten egg until just combined.
2. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9x13-inch baking dish. For a thicker crust, simply press the dough into the bottom of the pan.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the rhubarb, gelatin mix, and 1/2 cup of white sugar. Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly over the prepared dough. In another bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup of flour, and softened butter. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the rhubarb filling.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until the streusel topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbly, approximately 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
