About Me

My photo
I was raised by my father (God rest his soul) in the valley of Nebraska. The background picture is of the Scottsbluff National Monument I took on a trip home... Thank Goodness I had Czech & German Grandmother's and Aunt's who taught me how to cook, sew and overall be the most giving person ever. The lady in this picture is my Aunty. She passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. and was a huge influence on who I am and how I love. She and My Best Friend inspired this blog... I don't want anything to be forgotten!

Diva's Grandma Z's Rhubarb Cake or any Fruit

Diva’s Memories of Recipes
Grandma Z's Rhubarb Cake
Inspiration: We made this on the farm all the time.  You can use any fruit for a variety.  I even use it to make carrot cake.  The cinnamon & sugar on the top makes it require no icing.
Ingredients:
1~1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup sour milk (if you don't have sour milk, add 1 TB vinegar to milk)
1/2 cup sugar
1~1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
Cream brown sugar and butter slightly, add egg and vanilla and beat.  Sift together soda and flour and add to cream mixture. Stir in rhubarb and sour milk til creamy.  Put in a 9x13 greased baking dish and Bake @ 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes.

Variation: refrigerate and can be topped with whipped cream or ice cream.
