I did just a few alterations to lighten this up. I used 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar in the fruit. For my fruit I used rhubarb, plumbs, blueberries, blackberries. I only did 1/4 cup butter. I used 1/2 cup white sugar in the batter. I added 1/2 cup applesauce along with the milk. Turned out beautiful and super quick and easy to mix up. Even with the sugar reductions I think it was a bit sweet for me. This did get kid approval! They especially liked the bready batter.

Mine was gooey on the bottom but there wasn't enough cake and there was too much rhubarb. All the butter ended up being on top of the rhubarb in a big puddle.

This is great. When first prepared, I was a little concerned with the amount of butter vs batter but it is to die for. When complete, it is all nice and gooey on the bottom with a nice brown top. However, due to the amount of sugar the sides were really caramlized and hard, but still quite good. A dollop of whiped cream on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream really completes the dish!

I had to cook the dessert longer, but the bottom did come out with a carmelized bottom. Absolutely delicious!Will definitely make this one again.

Mine did not come out all gooey and carmely on the bottom. It was hard and crunchy on the bottom b/c I had to cook it longer so the cake was done. Not impressed, will not try it again.

Wow! This is really good! The bottom comes out gooey and carmely. Then, there's a layer of moist cake with sweet,tender, rhubarb on top. I use Allrecipes because of the reviews and surprised myself by trying a recipe that hadn't yet been reviewed. The name is what dared me to try it, and am I ever glad I did. This is a great, easy recipe to try if you want a little change from the usual cobblers and crisps.
