I adapted this from another recipe to try to use more of the rhubarb in my garden. It has a really good sweet-tart taste. Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour |
2 tablespoons flax seed meal (optional) |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup shortening |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 cups chopped rhubarb |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. To make rhubarb sauce, place about 4 cups chopped rhubarb in a saucepan with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. Bring to boil, then simmer until cooked down to an applesauce consistency. Let cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.
3. Add remaining ingredients. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are blended, then mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
4. Pour batter into greased and floured 8x11 pan (or two 8 inch round pans).
5. Bake in 350 oven for 35-40 minutes (5-10 minutes less for round pans).
6. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to racks and let cool completely.
7. If desired, frost with cream cheese frosting or whipped cream.
