Saturday, May 22, 2010

the lemon-rhubarb bundt cake turned out really good! it was delicious! great blend of tart from the rhubarb and sweet from the cake. and the lemon was a wonderful complement to it all. oh! and the icing - so good! yum-o! so someone asked if i would share the recipe. well....i got this recipe from this AWESOME site, good things catered, which is where i have tried out a lot of fantastic recipes from, BUT it seems that the website has been removed, which is a big bummer!!!

after searching around, i found the recipe here.  i also figured i would just share the recipe here, with my modifications included, so that if the link goes all cattywompus again, you can still see the recipe!  sorry for the silly page breaks, that's what i get for editing this post a year later :)

4 tsp fresh lemon juice mixed with 3 Tbsp water


Directions:

-Using large spatula, fold rhubarb into batter just until combined.
-Pour batter into bundt pan.
-Tap on counter to remove air bubbles, smooth top of batter away from center of pan.
-Place into preheated oven on rack in center of oven and bake until toothpick inserted into center of pan comes out clean, about 1 hour (mine took about 10 minutes longer than an hour...)
-Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 20 minutes.
-Turn cake out onto wire rack and cool completely.
-Once cake is cool, in medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice, 1 tsp at a time until medium consistency is achieved.
