Rhubrb Upside Down Cake
Ingredients:
*I used some caramel apple jam and some crab apple jam
Method:
- If using fresh rhubarb, slice into 1/2-inch- (1-cm-) thick pieces.
- Generously coat bottom and side of a 9-inch (23-cm) cake pan or a 10-inch (25-cm) deep-dish pie plate with 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter.
- Pour jam over rhubarb and stir to evenly coat.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup (50 mL) sugar and honey over bottom of cake pan or pie plate. Spoon rhubarb mixture overtop and evenly spread out.
- In a medium-size bowl, using a fork, stir flour with baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 2/3 cup sour creAM BANA MIX until creamy,
- then beat in remaining 3/4 cup (175 mL) sugar until evenly mixed,
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Then beat in almond and vanilla extracts.
- Gradually beat in one-third flour mixture, then half of milk.
- Repeat additions, ending with flour mixture, beating just until blended. Batter will be thick.
- Spoon evenly over rhubarb to completely cover, then smooth top as best you can.
- Bake in centre of preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into centre of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, check cake. If top is a deep golden brown, cover loosely with a piece of foil. If not, check colour occasionally until it is fully baked, covering with foil to prevent any more browning, if necessary.
- When done, remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Then run a knife around edge of cake. Invert onto a large cake plate. Great warm or at room temperature. Cake will keep well, covered, at room temperature or stored in the refrigerator overnight. It tends to dry a little as it sits.

Amazing Onion rings
NGREDIENTS
- 3 medium yellow onions
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 6 large egg white and some milk
- 1 cups fine dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat (see Note)
- 1 tablespoon seasoning blend (I used taco, seasoning salt, tumeric, chili powder and some of that garlic one)
- Olive oil
PREPARATION
- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 450°F.
- Coast one large pan with olive oil
- Cut off both ends of each onion and peel. Slice into 1/2-inch-thick slices; separate into rings. Place the rings in a medium bowl; cover with cold water.
- Combine flour and baking powder in a shallow dish.
- Lightly beat eggs and milk in another shallow dish.
- Combine breadcrumbs and seasoning in a third shallow dish.
- Working with one ring at time, remove from the water, letting any excess drip off.
- Coat in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip in egg and let any excess drip off.
- Then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each onion ring over and return to the oven
- Continue baking until brown and very crispy, 8 to 10 minutes more.
TIPS & NOTES
- Ingredient note: Look for fine dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs in the natural-foods section of large supermarkets or natural-foods stores. To make your own, trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until very fine. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 250°F until dry, about 10 to 15 minutes. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs.
