I was lucky enough to spend 7 years working near a most lovable woman: Twyla. She shared many words of wisdom and hilarious anecdotes with me over the years. This woman has taught me so many things about life and love and now she taught me what to do with rhubarb, what a woman!I have heard many wonderful and quirky stories about Twyla and her family over the years. The stories she would tell would make anyone want to spend a holiday with this family in their small South Dakota town. Twyla also shared with me, her sister Dar's Rhubarb Bundt.
This cake is a winner and now that rhubarb season is here, get in the kitchen!

This cake was so good! I'm surprised to see the rhubarb wasn't macerated at all, it was tangy but not bitter so I assumed it was. Makes it easier this way!
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of your top photo. There's something about the angle of the cake on the plate that is lovely. Slices of Bundt cake can be hard to photograph.
