Rhubarb and Almond Upside Down Cake

A fragrant cupcake for evening tea with the family. I found this recipe first on the Internet, and then in a culinary magazine. True, there it was presented as a pie. It required a rectangular baking pan with a side of 22 cm. My pan just cracked the day before and I had to cook it in a cake pan. The rhubarb for it had to be cut into short stalks. Because of this, the top of the cupcake was not as beautiful as if longer stems had been used. Therefore, if you want to get a beautiful top, it is better to take a wider shape.
