Rhubarb Upside Down Cake


INGREDIENTS:

TOPPING:

1/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
4-6 stalks rhubarb

CAKE BATTER:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla


DIRECTIONS:

Cut fresh rhubarb into approximately 1/2 inch pieces.

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. In an 8-inch square cake pan: melt margarine - This can be done in the oven. Brush the sides of the pan with the melted margarine so the cake will not stick.

Coat the bottom of the pan with brown sugar. Cover the entire bottom with the rhubarb pieces.

Combine the flour and sugar. Add oil and 1/4 cup milk. Stir until the flour is damp - then beat for one minute. Stir in baking powder, remaining milk, egg whites, and vanilla. Beat for two minutes. Pour over rhubarb in the cake pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes (making sure a cake tester comes out clean.)

Remove from oven, cool for 2 minutes, run a knife around the sides to make sure it will come out cleanly, and invert it onto a serving plate. Allow to cool completely.
