Rhubarb Yogurt Upside Down Cake
Makes 1 (9") cake
Ingredients
Topping
- 12 oz rhubarb cut into irregular ½ inch shapes
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter plus more for coating the pan
- 2 Tbsp water
Cake
- 1 (4.9 oz) pot french yogurt rose or vanilla flavored
- 1 pot vegetable oil
- ½ pot honey
- 1 ½ pots sugar
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- ⅛ tsp almond extract
- 2 pots all purpose flour plus more for coating the pan
- 1 pot almond flour lightly packed
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Whip cream or vanilla ice cream for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Butter all over and dust flour. Set aside.
- Add rhubarb to a medium bowl and toss with 3 Tbsp sugar and cornstarch. Set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, add brown sugar, water, and butter. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
- Cover the bottom of the cake pan with the rhubarb mixture. Evenly pour the brown sugar mixture all over the rhubarb. Set aside.
- Next, prepare the batter. In a medium bowl, add yogurt, oil, honey, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and almond extract. Whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt until combined.
- Pour wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter over the rhubarb.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to continue to cool. Be careful; as the syrup from the top may drip out as inverting.
- Serve slightly warm as is, with whip cream, or ice cream.
