• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Beat remaining stick butter and cup sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in zest and juice. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream, until smooth. Spread evenly over rhubarb.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Butter the paper and sides of the pan. Wrap two layers of foil under the pan, and place it on a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, mix rhubarb, cornstarch and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
• Mix the brown sugar and 1/2 stick butter in a pan over medium heat. Whisk until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.
• Whip 2 sticks butter in a mixer with a paddle attachment for 2 minutes. With your fingers, blend the remaining 1 cup sugar with lemon zest until the mixture is uniform in color. Cream together with the butter at medium-high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bowl halfway through. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream, then the lemon juice. (It's O.K. if the mixture looks curdled.) With the mixer set to low speed, add the flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, until well combined. Scrape down the mixer bowl in between the additions.
• Pour the brown-sugar mixture into the cake pan, then spoon in the rhubarb and its juices. Spoon in the batter so it covers all of the rhubarb. Smooth out the top.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the top of the cake is firm to touch and a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out without any large, moist crumbs.
• Place the pan on a wire rack, and cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the cake, place a plate on top of the pan and turn it upside-down. Release the cake from the pan while still warm or else it will stick.

REDHOT RHUBARB UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Put the first three ingredients in a 10-inch Dutch Oven and simmer about 30 minutes. When the rhubarb is well cooked and starting to thicken, add the cinnamon red hots and stir until they're dissolved. Let the rhubarb/red hot mixture cool for a few minutes while you mix up your cake mix according to package directions. Next set your 12-inch Dutch Oven in the firepan over 4-6 briquets and let your margarine melt. Take a spatula and make sure the melted margarine completely covers the bottom of the Dutch Oven. Spoon the rhubarb into the Dutch Oven and spread evenly. Then pour the cake mix over the rhubarb. Bake with 20-25 briquets on top until it smells done which is usually about 40 minutes.NOTE: When making upside down cake--if you have fruit juice left over from breakfast, add it to your cake mix in place of the water for a moister cake.A Back Country Guide to Outdoor Cooking Spiced with Tall Tales - Snacks & Desserts
