Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking tray or muffin tin by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually fold this into the butter-sugar mixture, adding whole milk.
  4. Scoop the batter onto the prepared tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. While cooling, whip together full-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  6. In a saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water. Simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in lemon zest and cool.
  7. Carefully slice the tops off each cooled cake and fill with cheesecake mixture.
  8. Top each filled cake with rhubarb compote.
  9. Return to the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes to warm through.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
