Rhubarb Bundt Cake

June 27, 2025 / Jenny / 6 Comments

This rich, moist cake is accented with bursts of fruity flavor from the rhubarb. Though my family and I love a tart rhubarb pie, the rhubarb aspect of this cake is much more subtle and sweet. So subtle that even those who claim to not like rhubarb will probably love this cake. The Bundt pan creates a festive style with its fancy shape, and the delicious flavor goes beautifully with coffee, tea, or on a hot day, iced tea.

The recipe for Rhubarb Bundt Cake is based on one I found in the cookbook Hollyhocks & Radishes by Bonnie Stewart Mickelson. I love this cookbook for its seasonal recipes that celebrate locally grown produce from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Rhubarb Bundt Cake is quite easy to put together and while it bakes, you can do all the other things you need to do. Because I know you have a lot of things to do, as I certainly do!

Easy Stovetop Apple Crisp

April 28, 2020 / Jenny / 4 Comments

This easy recipe only needs one skillet and uses ingredients that many of us already have on hand. Featuring sweet, cinnamon-simmered apples topped with a crisped oat and brown sugar mixture, stovetop apple crisp makes a tasty, healthy breakfast or dessert.

Apples are normally associated with the fall months, and apple crisp is normally baked in the oven. However, as we all know, nothing about this quarantine time is normal. I adapted this lovely, simple recipe out of sheer necessity. And because it is quick and easy and made with mostly pantry staples, I am thinking others may appreciate it as I did.

In the past couple of weeks, our world has been completely turned upside-down. Many, many are sick, schools are closed, countless people have lost their jobs, and others are working over-time in hospitals or in the food supply industry. Our minds are filled with statistics and new worries. Yet we still need to eat. Many of us are spending all or most of our time at home these days. For those of us fortunate enough to be healthy and have a good appetite, eating well will help us contend with the challenges ahead.
