Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). The first step is to prepare the fruit: in a medium-sized bowl, combine the strawberries and rhubarb with 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, the melted butter, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the juices can mingle and develop. Then, pour this delicious mixture into your greased cake pan, spreading it out evenly. It’s already starting to smell heavenly!
