• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
2. In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, 1 cup of sugar, and butter. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the rhubarb mixture over the batter, spreading it evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
