Fresh rhubarb is a delicious spring treat. But frozen rhubarb works well in this recipe, too, so you can enjoy this scrumptious cake all year long.
2 Tbsp unsalted butter 3/4 cup unpacked light brown sugar 1 1/3 cup rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 18 1/4 oz unprepared yellow cake mix 2 tsp orange zest 1 Tbsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed 1/2 cup fat-free creamer 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3/4 cup fat-free egg substitute 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Place butter in a 9 X 13-inch nonstick baking pan and put in oven to melt. Remove from oven and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter; spread rhubarb evenly over sugar. (Note: If using frozen rhubarb, do not defrost.) 3. In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, zest, ginger and cinnamon; add juice, creamer, oil and egg substitute. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Increase mixer to medium and beat for 2 minutes more. (Note: If you do not get 1/2 cup of orange juice from your orange, make up the remainder with extra creamer.) 4. Pour cake mix batter over rhubarb and carefully smooth top with back of a wooden spoon. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour. 5. Loosen cake sides by running a knife around edges. Turn upside down onto a cooling rack set over a sheet pan to catch any drippings. Cool to room temperature, sprinkle with powered sugar and slice into 18 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.
