Time 3h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups rhubarb, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 ounces)
1 1/2 cups strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (about 5 ounces)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Kosher salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the caramel topping: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter just the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Stir the sugar and 1/3 cup water together in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Cook, no longer stirring but gently swirling the saucepan occasionally, until the mixture is amber, 6 to 8 minutes. (If needed, brush any sugar crystals off the side of the pan with a pastry brush dampened with water.) Remove the saucepan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the butter (use caution; the mixture can bubble up considerably). Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, tilting the pan to cover most of the bottom (be careful; the pan will be very hot from the caramel).
  • Toss the rhubarb and strawberries in a medium bowl with the cornstarch, strawberry jam and a pinch of salt. Spoon on top of the caramel sauce and smooth into an even layer. Set aside.
  • For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk and sour cream in a small bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as needed, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk-sour cream mixture, and mixing until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter over the rhubarb and strawberries in the cake pan and spread evenly. Bake until the cake is golden brown, bounces back when pressed and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center, 55 to 60 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Let cool in the pan on a rack until cool enough to handle and almost room temperature, about 1 hour. Invert a serving platter over the cake pan and, while holding them together, quickly flip them over so the cake unmolds, fruit-side up. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges, and serve.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Strawberry-Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake image

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.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 to 2 teaspoons for greasing the pan
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1 pint strawberries (about 12 ounces), stemmed, hulled and halved
3 cups rhubarb, trimmed, cut across into 1/4-inch-thick slices, blanched for 2 minutes and drained well
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.

Rhubarb Bundt Cake image

A swirl of rhubarb jam graces the center of this vanilla-y Bundt cake. This is one of those cakes that keeps well for several days, and may even taste better on the 2nd or 3rd day after baking.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Rhubarb Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
  • Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.

  • Make sure the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved before adding the strawberries and rhubarb.
  • Don't overcook the cake, or it will be dry. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when the cake is done.
