Delicious Sweet Treats

Upside Down Rhubarb and Ginger Cake

SERVES 8

This is a fantastic easy food and looks great too! Perfect for a dinner party; if you have any left over, have with a cup of tea the following day.



125g Brown Sugar
50g  Butter
350g Rhubarb - trimmed and cut into 2cm chunks
200g Plain flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Bread soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Eggs
125g Brown sugar
200ml Butter milk
75ml Vegetable or sunflower oil
1 generous tsp of grated ginger

Preheat the oven 180°C

Melt the butter in a medium sized oven proof frying pan
(top measuring 26cm in diameter) Stir in the sugar, cook on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes. Add the rhubarb and remove from the heat and set aside. Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt and bred soda into a bowl. In a measuring jug or small bowl whisk the egg and add the second lot of brown sugar, the butter milk, oil and ginger, mix together and pour into the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. It should form quite a liquid batter. Pour this over the rhubarb in the pan and place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 min or until the cake feels firm in the centre. Cool for five minutes before turning out on to a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature with softly whipped cream.
