STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This humble dessert would never win a beauty contest when pitted against a towering layer cake swirled with frosting, but what it lacks in looks, it makes up in flavor and simplicity of preparation. The cake itself is light yet moist and soaks up the juice released by the strawberries and rhubarb while baking. Sliced almonds add a gentle crunch. It can be a bit tricky to unmold, so don't forget to line the pan with parchment and grease it generously with butter.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch round pan (at least 2 inches deep) with parchment paper and grease the parchment with 1 to 2 teaspoons softened butter. To make the topping, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar to the remaining butter and cook until the sugar is melted, stirring until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Scatter the almonds over the brown-sugar mixture. Arrange the strawberries over the almonds in concentric circles, cut-side up. Top with the rhubarb and set aside.
- To make the cake, using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine the vanilla with the milk. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
- Spread the batter over the fruit in the pan. Bake until the cake springs back when touched in the center, about 1 hour. (Cover the cake with foil if the top browns too much before the cake is done.) Remove the cake from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Turn out onto a cake plate. Replace any fruit that sticks to the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Choose the right rhubarb: Look for rhubarb stalks that are firm and bright red in color. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Prepare the rhubarb properly: Rhubarb leaves are poisonous, so it's important to remove them before using the stalks. Cut the rhubarb stalks into 1-inch pieces and rinse them well.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the cake from burning.
- Don't overcook the strawberries and rhubarb: The strawberries and rhubarb should be cooked until they are softened, but not mushy.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
