How to Make Topsy Turvy Nutty Rhubarb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent them from sinking.
  6. Peel and chop 4 cups rhubarb into ½-inch pieces.
  7. Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  8. Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the rhubarb.
  9. Pour the cake batter over the rhubarb and nuts, spreading evenly.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar (optional).
