The BEST Rhubarb Cobbler

Tart rhubarb pairs perfectly with a decadent cake-like topping in this delicious and easy-to-make Rhubarb Cobbler. Serve warm with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate dessert treat.

Normally I don't like to call things "the best," but in this case, it couldn't be any more appropriate. My mom was visiting a couple of weeks ago and we made twenty new recipes. (Crazy, right? Join the IBC mailing list HERE so you don't miss any.) This rhubarb cobbler was a favorite for both of us. We couldn't stop eating it. 

In fact, I loved it so much that I'm going to be making a blackberry cobbler using the same cobbler topping recipe. I'll share that with you soon. I love blackberries so I know it's going to be a winner.
And speaking of rhubarb, if you love it as much as I do, I have a post with all of my favorite rhubarb recipes HERE. There are so many delicious recipes! 

Anyway, back to this cobbler. You might be wondering ...

What Makes This the BEST Cobbler?

ONE. The combination of tart rhubarb and the sweet cobbler topping is beyond magical. Tart and sweet is an exceptional combination when it comes to desserts. The level of tartness from the rhubarb is perfect.  As you probably know, I typically love strawberries with my rhubarb, but not in this case.

TWO. I've had lots of cobblers in my life and this particular topping is my new favorite. It's light, soft, sweet, and has a delicate crust on top. It's perfection.

Have I convinced you to give this rhubarb cobbler a try? I sure hope so! Let me walk you through the recipe.

How To Make:

You can find a detailed ingredients list and instructions in the printable recipe card below. 

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spray a 9" deep-dish pie dish with baking spray. (Find the pie dish I used HERE.)
3. Add the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine. 

4. Add the rhubarb to the prepared pie dish. Set aside.
5. In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine. 
6. In a large bowl add the butter and sugar. Cream together until fluffy and pale. 
7. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and mix to combine. 
8. Add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined. 

4. Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping onto the rhubarb. 

10. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. 
11. Serve with freshly whipped cream or ice cream.

Recipe Notes:

Be sure to use a deep-dish pie dish. Cobblers bubble, so you want to make sure there's room for expansion. If you don't have a deep-dish pie dish, an 11x7 pan will work perfectly.  I also recommend adding a sheet pan or piece of aluminum foil to the rack below this cobbler just in case anything bubbles over. 

HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM: Not sure how to make whipped cream at home? I can help. You can find my homemade whipped cream recipe HERE. It's so easy!

And that's it, you're ready to dive into this amazing rhubarb cobbler.

As you can see I served mine with homemade whipped cream, but vanilla ice cream would be just as delicious. If you're serving this for a dinner and want it to feel a bit elevated, I recommend serving it in some footed glassware and garnishing it with fresh mint as I did here. It really makes this dessert feel special and important. (I will let you in on a little behind-the-scenes secret:  My mom and I liked this cobbler so much that we just ate it straight out of the pie dish. Ha!)

Styling Sources:

I often get asked about serving dishes, napkins, etc. Here are some of the things used in this post.

• pie dish
• napkins
• table runner
• spoons - HomeGoods

(I'm sorry but the footed glass bowls I used here are no longer sold.)

That's a Wrap:

I certainly hope you'll give this recipe a try, especially if you haven't had rhubarb before. This is a great introduction to it and a perfect way to experience its unique and delicious flavor.

Enjoy and happy baking!
