Description
Rhubarb Rose Upside-Down Cake With Pistachio Crumb is an irresistible dessert featuring a sweet and tangy rhubarb base topped with a moist cake and a crunchy pistachio crumb.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup of sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss to coat the rhubarb evenly. Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and almond extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the rhubarb mixture in the cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the pistachio crumb by mixing the finely chopped pistachios with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the rhubarb to be on top. Sprinkle the pistachio crumb over the warm cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter for a warm spice flavor.
- You can also substitute the rhubarb with fresh strawberries or peaches for a different fruity variation.
