Rhubarb sour cream cake
Spring is here! Its rhubarb time! As a kid we loved to wear the huge rhubarb leaf as a hat.
Unfortunately we don’t have rhubarb in our garden, fortunately we have markets selling regional fruits and vegetables.
Actually rhubarb is a vegetable, but it is mostly used in sweet dishes, or as juice, marmalade, jam and in cakes and tartes.
