Based on my other recipe, you know we love rhubarb and I love spring! What better way to celebrate spring than with another rhubarb recipe? My husband would probably say something about morels, but I say rhubarb!

I "invented" this recipe the other day and it didn't last long at all! I took some to my parents and some to my in-laws and we cleaned up the rest. Oops! No kidding, though, it is that delicious. The girls and I joked that I could have named it Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cake because we decided at the last minute to use some strawberries that were going bad in the fridge. I just cut off the "bad" parts and used the good parts. Another variation of this could be done with raspberries, too.

Go grab some rhubarb from your garden or grab some from the freezer and make this delicious springtime dessert!

From the gravel road,

Jen
