Rhubarb sour cream cake

April 23rd, 2018 | bread & pastries

Rhubarb sour cream cake

Rhubarb unfortunately does not thrive in my garden. What a pity! How I would like to cook – like my grandmother – strawberry-rhubarb jam, rhubarb compote and red fruit jelly with the beautiful red stalks from my own garden. Fortunately, you can now buy rhubarb again at the markets: regionally and seasonally, as we like it.

The following rhubarb cake tastes particularly good the next day, when it is well pulled through – ideal for guests!

Tonka bean mousse with blood orange ragout

In five days is Valentine’s Day! Unfortunately, my dearest captain is not ashore.
