FRESH RHUBARB UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Recipe will fit a cast Iron pan 12 inches across at the top.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350oF.
• Brush the insides of 8 mini-or baby cake pans, each 4 inches across and 1 inch deep, with a light coating of melted butter, dust with flour, and tap out the excess (skip this step if using a large cast iron pan).
• Whisk or stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together just to blend; reserve.
• In a separate bowl, stir the vanilla into the creme fraiche and set aside until needed.
• Melt the 1/2 stick of butter in a heavy skillet (or use the cast iron pan).
• Add the brown sugar and bourbon and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts.
• Stir in the pecans to coat with the caramel and turn off the heat.
• Divide the caramel evenly among the pans, working quickly to get it to the edges of the pans before it sets- step unnecessary if using a large cast iron pan (cooked sugar cools rapidly).
• Arrange the rhubarb in circles over the sugar, and set aside while you make the batter.
• Put the remaining stick of butter and the granulated sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a hand-held mixer, and beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.

• Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Working with a rubber spatula, carefully fold in the dry ingredients and the creme fraiche alternately- 3 additions of dry ingredients, 2 of creme fraiche.
• You'll end up with a thick batter.
• Spoon the batter over rhubarb and smooth the tops by rotating the pans while you run a rubber spatula over the batter.
• Put the pans on a jelly-roll pan and bake for 20 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean (test a couple of the cakes to be certain).
