Big thanks to Debby in Wyoming for sending in these requested recipes. :) Sounds delicious to me! Makes me crave a big slice with a cup of coffee (craving coffee too? be sure to visit My Coffee Creations Blog for lots of coffee tips, hints and recipes.
STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
(25 minutes to assemble, 50 to 55 minutes to bake, start to finish 80 minutes)
For the topping: 3 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups chopped ( 1/2-inch pieces) rhubarb, 10 ounces peeled and trimmed 1/2 cup strawberry preserves (not jelly or jam)
For the cake: 7-ounce package almond paste 1/2 cup sugar 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature 1 large egg, room temperature 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. To make the topping: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and add sugar. Stirring constantly, cook until sugar begins to melt and starts to turn a light caramel color. Add rhubarb. Stirring, cook for 3 minutes or until syrup starts to thicken. Pour rhubarb mixture into bottom of prepared springform pan. Drop rounded teaspoons of preserves evenly around top of rhubarb. Set aside. To make the cake: With a mixer, beat almond paste and sugar on low speed until the texture of small crumbs. Add butter and mix until combined. Beat on high for 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until very creamy, about 3 minutes. Sift the flour with the baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add flour mixture and milk to almond paste mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of batter on top of fruit. Gently spread batter evenly across top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until cake is done and toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Make sure center of cake springs back when pressed with a finger. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife around edge of cake and unmold springform. Tip cake upside-down onto serving plate and carefully lift off bottom of pan. Serve warm or room-temperature. Makes one 9-inch cake. Recipe developed for Andre Prost Inc., Odense Almond Paste.
