Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking tray or muffin tin lined with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Fold it into the wet mixture alternately with ¾ cup of whole milk.
  4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter onto the tray and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whip 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until smooth.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of chopped rhubarb, ¼ cup of sugar, and ¼ cup of water. Simmer for about 10 minutes.
  7. Slice the tops off the cooled cakes and fill with cheesecake filling. Spoon the rhubarb compote on top.
  8. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to warm the filling.
  9. Allow to cool for a few minutes, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
