Rural Thursday Blog Hop #15: Rhubarb Streusel Cakes



I have been searching for rhubarb recipes online and came across some really good ones at Gourmet.com.

This recipe for rhubarb streusel cakes caught my eye -- they looked easy to make and the ingredients -- most of us would have in the fridge or cupboard.

They taste amazing -- are moist, flavorful and the rhubarb retains just the right amount of tangy-ness that I prefer.  I used Canada Red rhubarb from my garden. I would defiinitely give these a try.

  18. We love rhubarb here! I have my first rhubarb coming in this year, they were planted last year from a family friend's garden, the same plants that my mom took from to plant in her garden years ago. It is amazing how long that stuff will last! My mom makes an amazing rhubarb custard pie...probably one of my favorite desserts ever!

  22. I must be one of those weird people who does not like rhubarb...have never been able to eat it - whether disguised with strawberry, or whatever! My ex-husband's grandmother used to grow it and give us a bag every spring for a "tonic". We passed it on to other family members who liked the stuff...never telling her we didn't eat it!

  61. I keep trying to leave comments on all the wonderful posts linked here, but can really on do so on the ones that let me just put in my name/URL - the rest force me to log into accounts I don't have!
