Delicious and Pretty Too: Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

Look at this gorgeous rhubarb cake from Blue Ridge Baker! The cake is baked upside down and then flipped over to reveal a beautiful watercolor design of rhubarb stalks, all rich green and pink.

Sarah at Blue Ridge Baker made this cake for her dad's birthday, and she adapted it from a Martha Stewart recipe. It has so many good things going on: That beautiful rhubarb top, and a crisp crumb layer on the bottom. Is this the ultimate spring cake? It just may be...

ooh i must try this, i love rhubarb and i'm trying to convince my boyfriend to love it too.

Sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing this one.

afeirar-

My husband claimed to hate rhubarb until I served it to him in this AMAZING dessert: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/strawberry-rhubarb-galette Now he's a convert!

I can't wait to try this new recipe on him using all the ruby red rhubarb awaiting harvest in my front yard!

Oh, I just saw this on Martha Stewart too. It looked really great when she was making it live on her show as well. I think a little less dense than Blue Ridge Baker's though.

I LOVE rhubarb, can't wait untill my parents vegetable garden has enough rhubarb for me to steal some, so I can make this awesome cake!!
