rhubarb upside-down cake
One of the best flavors of Spring is rhubarb. Our bush is happy, and grown huge, so I've been getting creative with ways to use it. This is my newest rhubarb creation, incorporating an old favorite. My family says it's a keeper :)

How To Make rhubarb upside-down cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is preheating, melt the butter in the oven, in a 9x13 cake pan.
-
Step 2Crumble the brown sugar over the melted butter, then sprinkle on the cream sherry. Layer 1 cup of the sliced rhubarb over the top. Set aside.
-
Step 3In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the shortening and sugar, til fluffy.
-
Step 4Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beating, slowly incorporate milk. Add vanilla. Set aside.
-
Step 5In a medium mixing bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl, with mixer, about 1/3 at a time.
-
Step 6Stir in the remaining 3 cups of rhubarb.
-
Step 7Pour the batter evenly over the top of the topping layer in the cake pan.
-
Step 8Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
-
Step 9NOTE: If you don't have buttermilk, you can sour regular milk with 1T of vinegar to 1c of milk. Stir, and let set a few minutes while you're preparing the other ingredients. Whole milk works best, but whatever you have will do.
-
Step 10NOTE: You don't have to use coconut flour, but it's very healthy, low carbohydrate, high fiber, and the coconut flavor is very mild. If you can't find it locally, you can get it here: www.bobsredmill.com In this recipe, if you don't want to use the coconut flour, just use 3c regular all purpose flour.

Step 11**We're gluten intolerant, so I use Bob's Red Mill brand All Purpose Baking Flour.
