It’s no fun when everyone does what’s expected…or cooks and eats what is expected.
It’s fun to spice things up and do something unexpected. This can apply even to your baking.
Maybe you want to take your classic pan of brownies or slice and bake cookies to your next picnic gathering. Or maybe you want to surprise your family and friends with something sweet, tart and totally seasonal.
This Rhubarb Crumb Cake is just that with those classic warm and spiced crumb cake flavors (cinnamon and ground ginger) on top of a layer of softened, tart rhubarb that’s on top of a moist hearty cake (thanks, sour cream).
I, personally, love helping people try new things, and I’m sure you do, too!
If you’re not sure where to look for rhubarb, you can check your farmers market, then head on over to your local grocery store (my Kroger has them) or specialty foods store like Whole Foods.
This cake is a great way to introduce you and your loved ones to the beauty of rhubarb without having to take a giant flavor leap.
