**Baked Sticky Rhubarb Pudding**
**Ingredients:**
– 3 cups chopped rhubarb
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Stir well to coat the rhubarb evenly and then spread the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
4. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, until a smooth batter forms. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Gently spoon the batter over the rhubarb in the baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The pudding will be hot, so be careful.
9. Serve the Baked Sticky Rhubarb Pudding warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. The combination of warm, tangy rhubarb and sweet pudding is simply irresistible.
