What's your favorite cake recipe? A friend and I have to bake a few for an upcoming event...Just need some ideas.
Here's my favorite. It's kind of a rhubarb upside down cake. But you could use other fruit if you don't like rhubarb.
Rhubarb Custard Cake
1 white or yellow cake mix
4 cups of chopped rhubarb
1 cup of white sugar
1 pint of whipping cream
Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. Pour in a greased 9” X 13” cake pan.
Cover with the rhubarb and sprinkle with the sugar.
Pour the whipping cream over the entire cake pan.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cream and rhubarb sink to the bottom and form a luscious custard layer. This stuff is yummy.
Get a copy of Fanny Farmer - paperback cookbook. The Huntington Chocolate cake is perfect - not too sweet, but very chocolate. The Boston Favorite in there is a good "yellow" cake, too.
