CAKE:
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1–1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1–1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in an 11×7-inch baking dish and put it in the oven for 5-6 minutes until melted. Carefully swirl the melted butter to coat the dish evenly.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine the rhubarb, blueberries, and cranberries. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and toss to combine.
  3. Step 3: Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it in an even layer.
  4. Step 4: In a large bowl, beat the 6 tablespoons of softened butter with the 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar until blended.
  5. Step 5: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the strawberry jam and vanilla.
  6. Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Step 7: Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and orange juice, beating well after each addition until the batter is smooth.
  8. Step 8: Pour the batter evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.
  9. Step 9: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Step 10: Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  11. Step 11: Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
  12. Step 12: Serve warm or at room temperature.

Baking time may vary between 35 to 45 minutes depending on your oven.

Be careful when swirling the hot butter and when inverting the hot cake pan.
