Preparation
Step 1
Cover the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch square pan with fruit. (I prefer an 8 inch or 9 inch square glass baking dish. You could also use a deep dish glass pie plate.)
Mix 3/4 cup sugar, butter, baking powder, salt, extracts, milk and flour together (add a little more milk if it is too thick to pour); pour over fruit. Mix remaining sugar and cornstarch; sprinkle over mixture in pan. Pour boiling water over the top.
( I know this sounds strange, but it works to create a pudding around the rhubarb in the bottom of the pan.)
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes,
The sugar topping creates a glaze on the top of the cake, something like a creme brulee, as well as creating the pudding at the bottom. You can serve warm in a bowl with ice cream, or let it cool a bit, slice and invert on your plate to show off the pudding.
Note: You can also substitute a gluten free flour. If you use a gluten free flour, bake an extra 10 minutes.
