A Little Bit of All Right

Summertime, summertime. Nothing says summer like fresh fruit. The Cake Slice Bakers continue to bake through The Perfect Cake , and this month, I chose to bake a Rhubarb Ribbon Cake. The recipe uses fresh rhubarb to add flavor to a basic yellow cake and to the buttercream frosting. It also uses strips of rhubarb to decorate the top. It is a beautiful cake. The only issue I had with the recipe was that my 2 lbs of rhubarb did not produce the 4 cups sliced rhubarb called for in the recipe, so the frosting was a little short. While the rhubarb taste in the frosting would have been that much stronger if I'd had the called for amount, it was still quite tasty. My family had mixed emotions about the cake. My daughter and one son were not fans, but my other son called it one of the best cakes he'd ever had. I loved it. I definitely need to spend more time baking with this summertime fruit. Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cake
