Rhubarb Squares

Made this with Strawberries instead of rhubarb. My condensed milk was quite a dark yellow so cooked cake was quite dark.




14 ounces canned condensed milk

1 1/4 cups self-raising flour

2 cups diced rhubarb

1 tablespoon confectioner’s sugar, optional

Instructions

1.                 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a square 9×9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.  Set aside.

2.                 In a large bowl, use a sturdy spoon or spatula to stir together the condensed milk and flour until combined.

3.                 Next, add in the diced rhubarb and fold into the thick batter. The batter is extremely thick, so don’t be alarmed! 

4.                 Transfer batter to lined cake pan.  Press the batter into the pan, being sure to get into the corners.  Try to get the top as evenly flat as possible. 

5.                 Bake for 25 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from pan.  Cut into 16 squares and dust with confectioner's sugar if you so desire.

If you want beautiful, bright red flecks of rhubarb in your squares, soak the diced rhubarb in grenadine for an hour.
