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!
