Golden baked rhubarb pudding with a gooey sauce, served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Baked Sticky Rhubarb Pudding

A warm, gooey pudding with tangy rhubarb and a rich caramel-like sponge—perfect for a cozy dessert.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup boiling water
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or an 8×8 square pan.
  2. In the baking dish, toss together the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Spread it out evenly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
  4. In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined—don’t overmix.
  6. Spoon the batter over the rhubarb base. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread it—don’t worry if it doesn’t cover perfectly.
  7. Stir the brown sugar into the boiling water until dissolved. Slowly pour this mixture over the batter.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the sponge comes out clean.
  9. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes so the sauce thickens. Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or custard.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30–45 seconds until warm.
