Made a Rhubarb pie.

I love a good rhubarb pie, and yours looks wonderful! And such a beautiful vintage range for baking, as well.

My mom used to freeze a bunch for use over the winter, but I never have. Consequently, rhubarb is a seasonal ingredient for me. I've made a number of different rhubarb cakes, too, and this one has become my favorite. People always ask for the recipe and and are surprised at how simple it is to prepare. The sugar, cream, and rhubarb create a wonderful custard at the bottom of the cake.

DAMN GOOD RHUBARB CAKE
1 18.5-oz. box yellow cake mix
6 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream

1. Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13" x 9" baking pan.

2. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Stir rhubarb into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

3. Sprinkle sugar evenly over top of cake. Drizzle cream evenly over top of cake.

4. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Cool to room temp. Limit yourself to no more than 3 pieces in one sitting, LOL.

ASIDE: Kelly, I love your avatar with the dough rising right in the bowl of a KA mixer.[this post was last edited: 3/6/2013-05:41]

In the Sarasota, FL area, there is a large Amish community and there are Amish restaurants. Yoders is one with legendary desserts. One year we went to a different one and they had crumb-top strawberry-rhubarb pie. Just three words for it: Fab U Lous. Mom used to make a crumb-top apple pie that needed no crust so that would eliminate all worries about crust for you, Hans.

Rhubarb

My Grandma always called rhubarb "pie plant". A large corner of the kitchen garden was given over to pie plant, and it was a regular dessert on the farm. I remember Gram being so excited to get the deep freezer, now she could freeze the stuff!

Ah, simpler times...

Golly!

Boy does that pie look good! I haven't had rhubarb pie for at least 5 years! I could almost smell it!
