- Melt the butter in a 24cm ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in half the sugar, and cook for about 5 mins. Remove from the heat and add the rhubarb and ginger. If you don't have an ovenproof frying pan pour the rhubarb mix into a 24cm round tin.
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and orange zest.
- Whisk the remaining sugar with the buttermilk, eggs and oil. Add the flour mix and mix well. Pour over the rhubarb and smooth the surface.

Top Tip for making Rhubarb upside-down cake
Don't turn the cake over straight out of the oven, as it will be fragile and likely to break. Instead, wait for 7-10 minutes before inverting onto the cooling rack.
