Rhubarb!!

The rhubarb is ready for picking! We love rhubarb at our house. Our favorite rhubarb recipe is called Rhubarb Custard Cake. I got the recipe from my stepmom, Mardi. I want to share the recipe with everyone. Warning: this NOT a healthy recipe. Unfortunately, we can't make this very often because we eat way to much of it.
1 Yellow Cake Mix
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup sugar (I only use 1/2 cup and it tastes fine)
1 cup heavy whipping cream

~Make cake mix according to the box directions and pour into a 9x13 greased pan
~On top of the yellow cake spread rhubarb and sugar
~Pour heavy whipping cream over the top
~Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes

Before baking

Yummy, right out of the oven

Next rhubarb recipe will be rhubarb/raspberry crisp but that recipe is pretty well know so no need to post that one.

Look at our cherry tree! It is full of blossoms. We should have a tree full of cherries this year. We barely had any cherries last year due to a late spring frost. I love spring!

OMG that rhubarb looks wonderful!! Strawberry Rhubarb jam is my favorite!! i also heard that cherry trees are fruitful every other year, so i too am hoping for a bumper cherry crop!! (we however have neither of those plants/trees, but family members do)
