Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

This cake is not only pretty but it tastes great! Growing up in Michigan my grandmother always had a big patch of rhubarb. I loved to go out and pull the stalks from the ground for her. At that time I didn’t think I liked rhubarb so I never ate it growing up. I don’t remember when that changed but rhubarb is one of my favorites now. I love the tartness of it. I am going to guess that any lemon lover would love rhubarb.

For about the last 10 years I’ve lived where you can’t grow it. It makes me so sad. Rhubarb doesn’t like the heat. I have tried multiple times to grow it and now that I’m in Florida I know better than to even try. So I am at the mercy of my grocery store and I can’t begin to tell you how pricey that can be. I’ve seen anywhere from 5 – 7 dollars a pound for it. So my northern friends appreciate that you can grow it. It doesn’t require a lot of work once it’s established and the rhubarb patch will just get bigger every year.

About this cake, it mixes up quickly and you pour it over the rhubarb and sugar. You start by added the rhubarb and sugar to a pan. Over medium heat melt the sugar. When it’s melted and starting to caramelize add the cake batter and bake. Some whipped cream on the side would be good with this too when you serve it.

    The Rhubarb Upside Down Cake looks amazing, as do all your food photos. I have a question a about the coconut oil. Liquid or solid? I have both. I am going to proceed with the solid, I am assuming I just cream the coconut oil, butter and sugar together? I am trying this recipe today and I will rate it later. My rhubarb is crazy huge this year and it’s the first time I have enough to put in the freezer. Thanks for the recipe!
