Upside Down Rhubarb Cake

"The secret to happiness
lies not in getting what you want,
but in wanting what you have"
Joanna Weaver


I got this recipe from my friend Wanda Enns. When she offers to bring something to a potluck, she is most likely to be asked to bring a dessert. That woman can bake! More often than not she makes something that no one has ever tried before, which is always a treat. I have been making this recipe for years and is enjoyed by all.

Base:
-4 cups rhubarb, finely chopped
-1 1/2 cups mini marshmallow
-1 cup sugar or 1 small pkg Strawberry Jello and sugar to = 1 cup
Dough:
-1/2 cup butter
-1 cup sugar
-2 eggs
-1tsp. vanilla
-1 1/3 cup flour
-1 Tbsp. baking powder
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/4 cup milk
1-Spread first three ingredients in a well greased 9x13 pan.
2-Cream together butter and sugar* until well beaten and light
3- add egg, continue beating, add vanilla.
4-sift together dry ingredients, add alternately with milk.
5-dollop the dough over the rhubarb and spread gently to cover.
6-bake at 350 for 45 or until brown
7- cool before turning upside down

*I used jello and sugar to get that nice red color.
