- This rhubarb upside down cake recipe is made the same way as pineapple upside down cake, using honey baked rhubarb and rhubarb syrup. Using a whole grain flour produces a dense, moist cake.
- Measure one pound trimmed rhubarb. Split and cut the stalks into ½- to 1-inch pieces.
- Cook the rhubarb on the stovetop or bake in the oven until very tender when pierced with a knife. Stir rhubarb and it should break apart readily.
- Thoroughly drain the cooked rhubarb in a sieve over a small bowl for 30 minutes or more to separate the rhubarb syrup and solids. One pound of rhubarb will make 3/4 to 1 cup each liquid syrup and rhubarb solids.
- MIx melted butter, brown sugar, and rhubarb syrup. Dot with rhubarb solids. Set aside while you make the cake batter.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients and stir until blended. Spoon batter over topping in cake pan. Smooth gently; it is not necessary to close the edges of the pan with the batter.
- Bake cake at 400°F for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake layer (but not into the topping) comes out clean.
- Remove cake from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert cake onto a plate, fruit side up.
