Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Combine chopped rhubarb, halved strawberries, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Alternately add the reserved flour mixture and milk to the creamed mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter over the fruit layer in the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving plate.
