Braggin' about my Babydoll

I got home from work last night, and my lovely & talented wife was baking a rhubarb cake for me to take to work today. It turned out amazing, thought I'd share a couple pix. It ain't off the grill, but was awesome anyway.

That looks really good! How about a recipe? We're huge fans of rhubarb and would really enjoy a rhubarb cake.

Absolutely - I'll have her grab it for me tomorrow and I'll post it after work.

My wife's grandmother (in her 80s) makes this and is phenomenal. Great pics! Thanks for sharing!

Crap. I'll fix it, sorry. 1 cup of milk, 1 egg.

That reminds me of a blueberry coffee cake my mom used to make when I was a kid - couldn't get enough of the stuff! Thanks for posting!

that sounds good too, i bet it'd be rockin' with blueberries instead (or in addition to) the rhubarb. hope you make it with blueberries and takes you back a ways. there's nothin' like the cookin' you got when you were a kid.
