Blushing Betty Rhubarb Cobblet Dessert

Blushing Betty Rhubarb Cobblet Dessert layers tangy rhubarb with sweet raisins under a tender, golden crumb for a balanced bite of tart and sweet in every spoonful. The soft, cake-like topping soaks up rosy juices as it bakes, making it perfect for spring gatherings or a cozy after-dinner treat with vanilla ice cream.

Blushing Betty Rhubarb Cobblet Dessert
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Combine the rhubarb with 2 cups sugar in a large bowl and spread it into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle the rhubarb with raisins.

  3. 3

    Cream the vegetable shortening with 2/3 cup sugar in a bowl; beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms. Spread the batter over the fruit in the baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until the rhubarb filling is bubbling and the topping is set and golden brown, about 1 hour.
