Rhubarb Muffins and a Cake

 Tis the season for rhubarb everything!

This is my favourite recipe for rhubarb muffins. I found it online at Rhuby Tuesday's.

And I must include my favourite and everyone else who eats it when I make it, recipe for

Rhubarb cake from my maternal Gramma :)

'Rhuby Tuesday's' Sour Cream Rhubarb Muffins

• 2 Cups Flour
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

Whisk together dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 
In a separate bowl whisk together until smooth:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 8 tbsp melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla

Add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just moistened. Do NOT overmix!

Line a muffin tin with 12 large baking cups and fill with batter. Sprinkle each cup with the topping:

Grammas Rhubarb Cake

Cream Together in a Large Bowl

• 1\2 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla

Combine in a large measuring cup 

• 2 cup flour
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1\2 tsp salt
• Pinch of nutmeg or to taste

Alternately add the flour mix and 1 cup buttermilk to the creamed mixture in the big bowl. Then add 2 cups chopped rhubarb. After you pour it into a baking dish sprinkle the top with some cinnamon sugar. I mean, everybody has a little shaker of it in their cupboard right? For yummy cinnamon toast!. If not, what are you waiting for!

Cook at 350 F for approx 35 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean :)

You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tsp of lemon juice to the measuring cup and then filling it with ordinary milk ;)

Make your piece of cake extra special by putting it in a bowl and pouring some cream over the top and then sprinkling a little cinnamon sugar over it. Talk about comfort food! I remember my Gramma making this for us when I was just a young one.

Enjoy!
