Every year at this time I just can’t get enough of rhubarb. Rhubarb in every thing.  I pared my own rhubarb plant right down to the bare minimum, so I had to scour the neighbourhood for another batch.  Haha!  Thankfully I had a lovely neighbour oblige my rhubarb obsession and hooked me up, with promises of more if I need it.

So with all this rhubarb in my kitchen, it’s time to get baking.  Pies, jam, tarts, muffinscakes…I’ll be making it all if I can!  But the one recipe I’ve been wanting to make for a looooong time now is this Rhubarb Pudding Cake.  I’ve been dreaming of this cake since I saw it last spring…so guess what I made today?  Yes.  A Rhubarb Pudding Cake.  Doesn’t that just sound SO good?

  1. You’re right….. I do need it. Thanks for sharing. A gal can never have too many rhubarb recipes.

  2. We actually have some rhubarb growing in our backyard. (I didn’t even plant it…the kids found a little patch of it this summer, haha). I wasn’t sure what to do with it…this is perfect, thanks! #HomeMattersParty
