Homemade Rhubarb Custard Cake

My Grandmother used to make the best homemade custard you ever eat.  I mean it was good.  I have never been the cook my Grandmother was but it is not for lack of trying.  A few years ago I found this great recipe for Rhubarb cake that tastes a lot like my Grandmas custard.  It is so good. It is quick and easy to make.  It is best eaten after it has been cooled in the fridge.  You will love this cake and it is just amazing what all you can do with rhubarb.

 

Rhubarb Cake

 

1 white cake mix

3 cups chopped rhubarb (sometimes I add more)

1 cup sugar

2 cups whipping cream (unwhipped)

Make the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour into a 9 x 13 inch greased pan

Arrange rhubarb on top of unbaked cake. I sorta push the rhubarb down just a bit.

DO NOT STIR! Sprinkle sugar evenly over rhubarb

Pour (unwhipped) cream evenly over the rhubarb.

DO NOT STIR

Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.

The cream, sugar and rhubarb will form a custard layer!

When baked, let cool enough to put in fridge. This will keep the custard layer cool. Serve when the custard layer is completely cold.

Oh yeah, baby!

Interesting. I don't like rhubarb though.
Cristina S. May 26, 2010, 12:36pm UTC

I am going to personally try this, Connie! Thanks.
Connie C. May 26, 2010, 4:47pm UTC
OH Chris, It is so GOOD. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Be sure to let me know how you like it.

Connie, do you have a good recipe to make a white cake from scratch? I want to make this one but don't have the cake mix.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt May 27, 2010, 4:44pm UTC
I just took mine out of the oven! Is it so wrong to start eating it hot?

I couldn't help myself.
Connie C. May 28, 2010, 2:50am UTC
LOL It is great isn't it. When it is cold, it is so much better. :)

thanks! I've never had rhubarb - I'll have to give it a try.

Sounds like I might even like it!

I like both rhubarb pie and rhubarb custard pie but I don't generally use box mixes so I doubt that I'll try this one.
Robin G. May 27, 2010, 2:37pm UTC
I should really do this with the rhubarb I've been growing.

just took mine out of the oven!

I'm not big on rhubarb BUT I love a good custard. I bet this is delicious.
Amanda C. Jun 10, 2010, 7:15pm UTC
About to make this, altho I only have whole milk in the house.. Do you think it will still work, or should I run out to the grocery store and buy some cream????
Nora D. Jun 10, 2010, 7:19pm UTC
Connie, can you use like two round/square cake pans instead? I don't have a "normal" oven.....only a toaster oven, and it sure won't take a 13" x 9" pan!!!!!!! I just printed this recipe off!!!!!!!
Connie C. May 24, 2011, 8:47pm UTC
Yep, You sure can.

sounds great

Sounds so good
Kelly W. May 24, 2011, 6:18pm UTC
Sounds great. I love trying new recipes. Will have to wait until I make a trip to the grocery store.
Connie C. May 24, 2011, 8:49pm UTC
Kelly,

Do you have rhubarb? We raise it and have tons of it. Already sold a lot
Kelly W. May 24, 2011, 9:15pm UTC
Yes, we have rhubarb. Not a lot, though. We planted some more last year. It hasn't really taken off yet. I do have enough that I can freeze some. Plus my mother-in-law always shares.
