RHUBARB CAKE



Rhubarb Cake image

I got this great recipe from my mother-in-law who's been making it for years! It doesn't have a strong rhubarb taste. It's sweet and moist. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I do. I always try to use fresh rhubarb, never frozen and then thawed because it doesn't work well.

MOM'S RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Mom's Rhubarb Upside Down Cake image

I have been carrying the recipe around with me on a faded piece of paper since 1988. I will never forget the day I baked this for my Papa's birthday. He never liked cakes or any desserts much and rarely bothered to even taste them, but much to my family's surprise he even asked for seconds of this one! What a proud and triumphant moment for a granddaughter who was still in elementary school :) I haven't made this in many years, but I do remember that it is very simple, moist and tasty!

MOM'S RHUBARB CAKE



Mom's Rhubarb cake image

I grew up with the smells and taste of this yummy cake with rhubarb fresh from our garden!

Provided by Laura Oravez

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c shortening/butter
1 egg
1 c buttermilk (1/4 c. vinegar to 3/4 c. milk)
2 c fresh rhubarb~cut into small pieces
2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
TOP:
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp or to taste, cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Mix cake ingredients in order and pour into 8x8 cake pan that's been oiled and floured. Then spoon on topping and bake in 350 degree oven for @ 45 mins. Check for doneness when top is "cracked" and toothpick comes out clean in middle. Cover to keep moist. *recipe can be double for 9x13 cake pan. Increase baking time @10-15 mins.*

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb. Fresh rhubarb has a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for baking. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb. Rhubarb should be cooked until it is tender, but still has a bit of a bite to it. Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a well-greased baking pan. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Mom's rhubarb cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some fresh rhubarb, be sure to give this recipe a try!
