TWD/BWJ Rhubarb Baby Cakes


While Rhubarb Baby Cakes may not win a beauty pageant they do taste delicious! This sweet cake starts out with a brown sugar caramel sauce and chopped pecans.  Thin slices of rhubarb are layered over the pecan/caramel sauce. Top all of this goodness with yummy cake batter. This bakes into a delicious little cake with tart rhubarb and sweet pecan caramel sauce on top.
You can make this recipe with any kind of fruit--think apple, peach or how about blueberries? This is a baby cake but you can also make the cake in a larger cake or spring form pan. The possibilities are endless.
Check Erin's blog for the complete recipe. Then check the TWB/BWJ  LYL and see what other bakers did with this recipe.

Your cakes look great. I agree that they would be good with other fruits too.

Maybe we should call this cake - The Endless Possibility Cake :) I agree with you wholeheartedly! Cute cakes.

What a great recipe! I am thinking of all the variations. Don't you think you could use jam for the topping?

Oops! And, I can't get Erin's link to work.

This is not a problem if it's not as pretty as wished! It is so delicious, it is the most important, and then it's not so bad this rustic look, isn't it?
Your topping looks so yummy!!!

Cindy, what wonderful little rhubarb upside down cakes you baked - so very cute - when I was baking mine I was thinking about the fact that you mentioned that you have rhubarb growing in your garden - must have been nice to use your own, freshly harvested - pretty and delicious cakes indeed!

Can't wait to try this one...maybe with something I pick up from the farmers market!

You have a lot of caramel ratio to the cake, I love that! Next time I should make baby cakes, they look so cute Cindy!

Great pic of your baby cakes. And yes, there are so many possibilities for these cakes. I can't wait to make it again.

While the eyes invite us in, in the end, it's the taste that matters. Your baby cakes look beautiful.

What pretty cakes you made. I've been dreaming of alternate toppings! The cake is a wonderful base for so many other fruits.

Sara said...

Using other fruit is so brilliant!

Nice!! I agree, I can't wait to try out the cake with another fruit. The caramel really made the cake. Your little cakes look great!

These look great - and I like the small size. Made me wonder what kind/size pans you used. And by the way, the photos on your blog are awesome....
