Baking Challenge

Upside Down Cake

Give your cake a name based on the ingredients and decoration – and tell us about the origin of your recipe.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake

Adapted from https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-an-upsidedown-cake-with-almost-any-fruit-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-192070, with changes to the glaze and baked in a 9-inch cake pan.

Tell us about your proudest moment – or humble failure – in this week’s baking challenge.

Flipping the cake and removing the pan was a nerve-wracking process, but the cake came out smoothly and the design held its shape!

Describe how you added a Wisconsin twist to your creation.

Made with eggs and maple syrup from my parents’ central Wisconsin farm, as well as seasonal fruit from the farmers’ market.

How did you do?

Pleasantly satisfied.
