Floating rhubarb in cake
What causes diced rhubarb to float from the bottom of glass pan (where it was placed under a cake mix) to the top of cake mixture while baking?
Best Answer
Some doughs melt when heated, esp high fat doughs which rely on eggs/protein hardening, starch drying/thickening, or similar effects, and not gluten for structure.
And once the dough is molten, anything significantly lighter per cubic cm than itself will rise, anything significantly heavier will sink.

Does rhubarb cake freeze well?
Cook's Notes. This cake is perfect for baking ahead, as it stays moist really well (covered at room temperature). It also freezes well! Of course, if you can't get hold of (or don't like) rhubarb, you can swap out just about any fruit (fresh or frozen) for the rhubarb.Should you use milk or water in pound cake?
Milk: Add MILK, not water, when your box mix calls for liquid. The milk adds density, fat and, most importantly, extra flavor to your mix.Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake
