Rhubarb Upside-Down Brown Sugar Cake - Tuesdays with Dorie

I love rhubarb so I was looking forward to this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection from Baking Chez Moi, and it didn't disappoint. 
The rhubarb was sweet-tart, and the ratio of caramelized vegetable to butterscotch flavoured cake was perfect. The cake was a little dense, but I had reduced the sugar by 1/3 the recipe so that may have played a role, but it was also very soft and moist and held together even after absorbing all of the juices released by the rhubarb while it baked. 
Apart from a red currant jelly glaze that provided a glossy finish, I didn't include any of the optional ingredients or accompaniments, but the cake didn't need them; it was delicious served as is. 

Visit Tuesdays with Dorie to see everyone's wonderful cakes.

  7. Your cake looks so pretty! I have to pass on this week's bake, as rhubarb is one ingredient that I cannot find over here! Thought of substituting it for apples, but i guess it is not the same~! Wish I could have a slice!

  10. Your cake looks great! I think its quite daring of you to cut the sugar:) I'm always afraid to tinker with a cake recipe but it worked for you! I think this cake would be great with different fruits. I'm seeing cherries in the market lately and think I might give them a try with this recipe!

  11. Yours looks perfect! I loved this cake, too. I like Guyla's idea of using cherries when the rhubarb is done. This cake would go so well with many fruits.
