Individual Rhubarb Bundt Cakes are the perfect mix of a sweet cake and the tartness of rhubarb topped with a sweet rhubarb curd. I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend. The weather in Wisconsin was beautiful, I couldn’t have asked for better weather. I did spend some time in the kitchen but I also attended a birthday party for my 4 year old niece and almost 2 year old nephew. The party was outside and it’s always fun watching young kids play and entertain. My brother and sister-in-law, Dave & Kathy, are here from New Hampshire along with their daughter, Sarah, from Baltimore. When they come to town we always go out for fish, perch to be exact, because you can’t get a Wisconsin Fish Fry anywhere else! The other item they enjoy when in Wisconsin is cheese curds, deep fried to a golden brown and they go real well with the fish fry! This nice weather brings rhubarb fresh for the picking. I went and picked a bag full the other day. I froze some of it and the rest I used in today’s recipe, Individual Rhubarb Bundt Cakes. Moist, sweet lemon flavored bundt cake with tart rhubarb mixed in.
Enjoy!
