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.

ReplyDeleteCindy, 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!
