Our 10th recipe to review from Bake the Season is found on page 22; Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake.

I am not a fan of rhubarb, so it is difficult for me to judge, but I believe this recipe needs some tweaking.

Rhubarb

We are fortunate because we have several beautiful rhubarb plants on the farm. Every spring Scott looks forward to endless rhubarb treats.

TIP: To keep rhubarb fresh longer- loosely wrap trimmed stalks in aluminum foil and store in fridge- will keep for up to 2 weeks

  • I should have used stalks that were more red, if you want a more attractive cake

I added 1/3 cup/105 grams of strawberry jam- I heated in microwave for 30 seconds and swirled into the cake batter.
