Hi, Kristy in the Rada kitchen. It’s rhubarb season, so I want to share a recipe for a Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake. It’s in our rhubarb cookbook, there’s 101 recipes for rhubarb in here.

Now, to cut a fibrous, woody vegetable like this, I like to use the Rada Serrated Paring Knife. It has a super-fine serration, but it works really good to slice through something that’s fibrous. It’s great for asparagus, too, so it’s kind of my springtime knife. You want to finely dice this. If you’re looking for a fundraiser for a club or church or youth group these Rada knives are available as a fundraising option. This knife sells for less than $5, so it’s affordable, and people get something they can actually use. We have customers tell us that they’ve been using the same knife for over 40 years and are still using them. So they’re economically priced and useful. Everybody can use a good, useful tool in the kitchen.

Now to our finely diced rhubarb we’re going to add a cup of sugar, 6 tablespoons of melted butter, and, if you want, a couple drops red food coloring. Because rhubarb turns brown when it gets cooked the food coloring will give it that nice, red look.

Now we’re going to spread our rhubarb mixture into a greased, 9 x 13” pan. This is the Rada Stoneware Rectangular Baker. It’s all I use. It has even heating, it keeps the food hot longer after you take it out of the oven, you don’t burn stuff in it. Now, on top of this, I’ve already mixed up a white cake mix the way the directions said. We’re just going to pour this evenly over that rhubarb mixture. You’re going to want to make sure you have your oven preheated to 375 degrees. We’re going to place this in our preheated oven.

So, our rhubarb upside-down cake just got out of the oven. After about 3 minutes I flipped it onto a serving platter. You can serve it warm. It’s really pretty and it’s good to serve with some ice cream or whipped topping. And that’s one of the 101 Recipes with Rhubarb cookbook recipes.
