Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 18 muffin cups with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Spoon 1 teaspoon melted butter into each prepared muffin cup, followed by 1 Tablespoon brown sugar and about 2 Tablespoons rhubarb. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to press it into an even layer.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until rhubarb just begins to soften, 7 to 8 minutes.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, beat cake mix, water, eggs, oil, and almond extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  5. 5 Pour batter over rhubarb in hot muffin cups, filling each just over 3/4-full.
  6. 6 Return to the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
  7. 7 Cool in the muffin cups 5 minutes before inverting onto a wax paper-lined cooling rack. Serve warm drizzled with any syrup in cups.
