I'm a produce junky. So to me, Spring = A Whole New World of Eating and Baking Opportunities!
One of my favorite Spring crops is Rhubarb!
This is some of the Rhubarb in my parents' yard:
It looks like a pile of weeds right now, but eventually it'll look like this:
But in the meantime, it looks like this:
These fibrous red stalks are still babies, but they are growing quickly.
I also have a friend from Maine who harvests his backyard o' rhubarb for me. (Thanks Sven!)
What the heck can I do with this bizarre plant?
I can make the Strawberry "Roo"Barb Streusel Cake, duh. And you can get it from me, thank me for changing your life, and beg me for more!
The cake is a secret family recipe. So here's just an overview of what it's all about.
First, there's a sweet & tart Straw-Rhu filling....
Then, cake batter...
Add a bit o streusel topping, and she's ready for the oven...
Ta Dah! This cake's a STAR.
MMM gooey layers....
The perfect treat for any party or occasion.
(And in case you're wondering, yes, breakfast counts as an "occasion"!)
When seasonably possible, I plan to use local strawberries in this cake.
You can get it from me anytime via email, txt, cell, blog comment, or find me at an event or farmer's market near you soon!
