Of course there's such a thing as a rhubarb cake -- not to mention a rhubarb upside down cake! Here ya go -- one recipe, guaranteed to make your friend's birthday a good one. :-)
RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
5 cups cut fresh or frozen rhubarb (1/2 inch pieces), thawed and drained
1 (6 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 (18.25 ounce) package white or yellow cake mix
whipped topping
DIRECTIONS
Place rhubarb in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with the gelatin, sugar and marshmallows.
Prepare cake mix according to package directions; pour batter over marshmallows.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes; invert cake onto a serving plate. Serve with whipped topping if desired.
Note: the recipe calls for half a cup of sugar. I suggest you double that amount, especially when using fresh rhubarb. You can also use brown sugar in this recipe.
