Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
Take a look at this stunning cake that showcases the vibrant rhubarb beautifully.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup of granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Toss them together and let them sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. This will help draw out the juices from the rhubarb.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and stir until well combined. Pour this mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Layer the rhubarb mixture evenly over the melted butter and sugar mix in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter over the rhubarb in the cake pan, smoothing it out gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate so the rhubarb is on top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake!
