What do you do when you starve saltation flavors on a cold and damp spring dark ? exhaust your rhubarb warm around the woodstove ! That ’s what we did this past Saturday nighttime here atInn Serendipity . With the dusty outpouring we ’ve been having here in Wisconsin , our rhubarb plant dapple has been slowly bolt down up and we could finally start to harvest this weekend . We crank up the woodstove ( hopefully for the last meter this time of year ) and shared a piece of Warm Rhubarb Caramel Cake with ourbed - and - breakfastguests .
The tartness of pieplant begs a sweet-smelling accompaniment , and this cake definitely delivers . This formula act like two bar in one : When serve ardent , it ’s has a sonant , almost pudding - like body , and you may help it with a spoon ; however , as the patty cools , the sauce hardens and takes on a glaze - like consistence as the whole cake business firm up .
Do n’t have buttermilk in the house ? No worries , we rarely do either and you could easily make the comply substitution : Pour 1 cup Milk River over 1 tablespoon lemon succus or clean acetum . permit sit about 5 minute of arc , and you will see the milk start to curdle . This adds the nice tart flavourer of buttermilk using basicpantry staplesyou already have around — no wasteland !
The sun will beam and temperature perk up to the 80s this calendar week , so we ’re face forward to the outflow gardens moving into growing overdrive . That rhubarb plot of ground of ours will decidedly take off . We remember somerhubarb frittersare in our cheeseparing future .
