Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
6 cups rhubarb sliced on the bias about 1 1/2-inches thick
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
1 box yellow cake mix
Whipped cream, lightly sweetened with vanilla bean paste, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine the rhubarb, sugar, honey, lemon juice, thyme, cinnamon, ginger, salt and vanilla bean paste. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the cake mix according to the box instructions. Place the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of the pan, reserving half of the juices and adding the other half to the pan. Spread rhubarb and juices evenly, then pour cake batter over the rhubarb.
- Bake until golden, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 10 minutes, then invert onto a cutting board. Serve warm with the whipped cream and reserved rhubarb liquid.
