Recipe: Homemade Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2-1/4 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
BATTER:
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, separated, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, optional
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and butter. Spread into a greased 10-in cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. Layer with rhubarb; sprinkle with sugar. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into creamed mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time. Gently spoon over rhubarb.
Bake at 325° until cake springs back when lightly touched, 40-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. If desired, serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Dash kosher salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1-1/3 cups chopped fresh strawberries
1-1/3 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb

Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8-in. square baking pan with parchment, letting ends extend up sides. In a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans.
- Press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake until edges just begin to brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in milk, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Add egg; beat on low speed just until blended. Pour over crust.
- Bake until filling is set, 15-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
- For jam, in a small saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Add strawberries, rhubarb and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture begins to thicken, 6-8 minutes. Cool completely. Spread over filling. Refrigerate until set, 8 hours or overnight.
- Using parchment, carefully remove cheesecake from baking pan. Cut into bars for serving.
Editor's Note
If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
