Homemade Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake image

This light and airy yellow cake is moist but not too sweet, and the caramelized rhubarb topping adds tangy flavor and visual appeal. We like it served with strawberry ice cream. -Joyce Rowe, Stratham, New Hampshire

I added a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter and it gave the cake a nice crunch. I also used a bit less sugar in the topping and it was still plenty sweet.
