Rhubarb Strawberry Upside Down Cake














Rhubarb Strawberry Upside Down Cake

-
Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 34 Minutes
Yields: 12 to 15 Servings
-
5 cups sliced rhubarb (See *Note)
2 (3-oz.) pkgs strawberry gelatin (I used sugar free strawberry gelatin)
1/2 cup sugar, or 12 packets of Saccharin Sweetener
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 box (15.25-oz.) white (or) yellow cake mix
1-1/4 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 egg whites
Reddi Wip Whipped Topping, to garnish the cake
-
1.) Place rhubarb in a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Sprinkle both packages of strawberry gelatin over the rhubarb. Now place the mini marshmallows on top.

2.) Prepare cake mix according to package directions. (I used a white cake mix.)

3.) Pour the cake batter over the marshmallows.

4.) Bake the cake for 34 to 38 minutes. Use a toothpick inserted in the center of cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. (I baked mine for 37 minutes.)

5.) Allow cake to cool completely, before cutting and serving. If desired, top with Reddi Wip Whipped Topping.

6.) *Note: Prep Time varies, since you'll need to cut, rinse, and trim the rhubarb. If using rhubarb that's been frozen, then thawed, prep time won't take as long.

This was my review of the recipe which I posted back in September 7, 2020 at 2:44 pm

I opt to make cupcakes rather than a cake, plus I didn't use the chocolate glaze. I chose to frost the cupcakes with a chocolate frosting. I also had to tweak the recipe a bit, using ingredients I had on hand. Instead of the unsweetened chocolate, I used "12 Tablespoons" of Hershey's Unsweetened Baking Cocoa, along with 4 Tablespoons of Crisco Butter Flavored Shortening. Instead of grated orange peel, I used 1-1/2 teaspoons of McCormick's Orange Extract. I could taste a hint of the orange extract, followed by the cinnamon, but I thought it was the chocolate frosting that took these cupcakes over the top. I will definitely use this recipe again, plus it makes for a really moist cake or cupcakes. I don't think no one would ever guess blended green tomatoes were incorporated into the cake. Thank you Eddie for sharing your great grandmother's cake recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Rhubarb Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I "love" rhubarb!  And I love this cake, it's not too sweet, and not too tart!  My husband says it's a nice moist cake.  Before making the cake, be sure to read the *note that follows the recipe.



Pineapple Rhubarb Upside Down Cake

1 (18.25 oz.) box Pillsbury Golden Butter Cake Mix
 
1 cup water (or 1 cup of reserved pineapple juice)
 
1/3 cup softened butter
 
3 large eggs
 
3 cups thinly sliced rhubarb (do not use frozen)
 
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple, drained & reserving juice
 
1/3 cup granulated sugar
 
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
 
1 (3-oz.) box Strawberry Jell-O Gelatin
 
Cool Whip or Reddi Wip, to garnish cake


1.)  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.)  Grease one 13x9x2-inch baking pan.  Set pan a side.

3.)  In a large bowl blend together just until moist, the cake mix, the water (or the reserved pineapple juice), softened butter, and eggs.  Then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.  Set bowl a side.

4.)  In a medium size bowl mix together by hand, the rhubarb, crushed pineapple, granulated sugar and brown sugar, plus the Strawberry Jell-O.

5.)  Pour the rhubarb mixture into the already greased baking pan.  Spread mixture evenly in pan.

6.)  Now pour the cake batter over the rhubarb mixture.  Using the back-side of a Tablespoon; spread the cake batter evenly over the rhubarb mixture.

7.)  Bake in oven for 55 minutes.  Cake should look golden brown in color when done baking.  If need be, do the toothpick test in center of cake, to be sure cake is done baking.  (Mine was done baking within 55 minutes.)  

8.)  Let cake sit to cool down a bit before serving. Either serve cake while it's still warm, or cool completely then serve.  Or refrigerate to serve later. (Refrigerate any leftover cake.)  

9.)  Top cake with a dollop of Cool Whip, or Reddi Wip.

10.) *Note: Be sure to thoroughly drain the juice from the canned pineapple.  I use a mesh colander to drain the pineapple in, plus I press down the crushed pineapple with a spoon.  From that, I got exactly 1-cup of juice to add to the cake mix, instead of adding water.  Also, the canned crushed pineapple I used, stated on the label... Natural Juice No Sugar Added, and the brand I used was... Liberty Gold.
