Upside-Down Rhubarb Brunch Cake

Upside-down Rhubarb Brunch Cake has a buttermilk cake base and is topped with tangy rhubarb laced with gooey caramel, which makes this already-moist cake irresistible.

Whenever I think of upside-down cake, I think about the Pineapple Upside-down cake that was popular in the 80s, when I was a kid - a piece of cake topped with an unnaturally bright red maraschino cherry in the middle of a ring of too-sweet canned pineapple.

This is not your typical upside-down cake from the 80s. This Upside-down Rhubarb Brunch Cake is the real deal.

Rhubarb is overflowing from my local farmer’s markets and grocery stores and I’m taking full advantage this year! I’ve already made Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and Mini Banana Rhubarb Muffins - and now I’m baking it into a cake.

Banana Rhubarb Mini Muffins

I'm loving rhubarb season! Tart rhubarb pairs with creamy banana in these moist and tasty mini muffins recipe!

Rhubarb!!! Since rhubarb season is fairly short, I have to make sure I use it in as many recipes as possible! After I made Strawberry Rhubarb Jam, I just couldn’t get enough - so today I’m sharing Banana Rhubarb Mini Muffins. Which would probably be pretty delightful topped with a slather of the Jam, if you ask me 😉 There’s no such thing as rhubarb overload in my books!

Strawberry Rhubarb Jam

IT’S RHUBARB SEASON! Rhubarb is such a unique fruit - so tangy and versatile and truly signifies the arrival of Spring. It reminds me of being a kid and playing in my grandma’s back yard where she grew huge rhubarb plants with leaves the size of my entire little body. Of course, as a child, I could care less about her rhubarb plants - I was more intent on picking the sugar snap peas or raspberries or grapes.

In my dreams I would have a yard (hahaha! Having a yard is actually a laughable concept, given that I live in a city where real estate prices are sky high!) full of fruit trees - and would be able to preserve all fruit to enjoy year round. As a kid I used to dream about living on a farm - and still to this day, I can’t say I disagree! As long as the farm has my dream orchard 😉
