Preparation Steps
  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, beat together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed butter and sugar. Stir in whole milk until the batter is smooth.
  5. Scoop the batter into your prepared tray and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
  6. Let the cakes cool on a wire rack.
  7. Whip together full-fat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until creamy.
  8. In a saucepan, simmer chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water over medium heat for about 10 minutes until tender.
  9. Slice the tops off the cooled cakes and fill each with the cheesecake filling. Top with warm rhubarb compote.
  10. Return filled cakes to the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5–7 minutes to warm through.
  11. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
