Fresh rhubarb is a delicious spring treat. It's sold in stalks, has a refreshingly tart taste and is used like a fruit but is technically a vegetable.
 

Ingredients

2 Tbsp unsalted butter   
3/4 cup(s) unpacked light brown sugar   
1 1/3 cup(s) rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces   
18 1/4 oz unprepared yellow cake mix   
2 tsp orange zest   
1 Tbsp ground ginger   
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon   
1/2 cup(s) orange juice, freshly squeezed   
1/2 cup(s) fat-free creamer   
1/3 cup(s) vegetable oil   
3/4 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute   
2 Tbsp powdered sugar   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Place butter in a 9- X 13-inch nonstick baking pan; put in oven to melt. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter; spread rhubarb evenly over sugar.

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cake mix, zest, ginger and cinnamon; add juice, creamer, oil and egg substitute. Beat on low speed of an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Increase mixer to medium and beat for 2 minutes more.

  • Pour batter over rhubarb; carefully smooth top with the back of a wooden spoon. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  • Loosen cake by running a knife around pan edges. Turn pan upside down onto a cooling rack (set over a sheet pan to catch any drippings). Cool to room temperature, sprinkle with powered sugar and slice into 18 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Notes

  • You can swap frozen rhubarb for the fresh rhubarb if you prefer; do not defrost it.
