2. Prepare Rhubarb Topping:

   • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the brown sugar and diced rhubarb to the skillet, stirring gently until the sugar is melted and the rhubarb is coated. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Cake Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the egg to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.

4. Sift Dry Ingredients:

   • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Alternately add the sifted dry ingredients and the milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Assemble and Bake:

   • Pour the prepared cake batter over the rhubarb mixture in the skillet, spreading it evenly.

   • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Invert and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the skillet for a few minutes.

   • Carefully invert the skillet onto a serving plate, allowing the cake to release onto the plate. Be cautious as the skillet will still be hot.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the Rhubarb Upside Down Cake warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
