Rhubarb Compote Cake

Ingredients

• 8 stalks rhubarb , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 appless - peeled , cored, and diced
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 0.25 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine rhubarb, apples, 1/2 cup white sugar, and water together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir rhubarb mixture until rhubarb is tender and compote thickened, about 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

3. 3

   Mix 2/3 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, egg, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; stir in milk. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to milk mixture until batter is just moistened, then pour into the prepared baking dish. Spoon enough compote over batter to create about a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Reserve any leftover compote for another use.

4. 4

   Stir oats, 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup white sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl until crumbly; sprinkle over compote layer.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
