Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-Down Cakes

Hey friends,

Happy Mother’s Day!

By now, brunch is probably already in full swing — eggs cracked, coffee brewed, maybe even a mimosa or two floating around. And if you’re still figuring things out, no sweat. We’ve got you covered with our Easy Breezy Brunch, now on our YouTube channel so you can cook along at your own pace.

But let’s be honest, one of the best parts of any celebration is dessert.

These Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-Down Cakes are the sweet finale the mom figure in your life deserves. Baked in a jumbo muffin tin, they look impressive but are super simple to pull off. Naturally sweet from juicy strawberries and tangy rhubarb, with a hint of blood orange zest to brighten things up. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ve got yourself a perfect Mother’s Day sendoff.
