Cake + Ice Cream = 1 Happy Lady
A week ago last Friday, Deb of Smitten Kitchen posted about coffee cake, and not just any coffee cake, 'Big Crumb' Coffee cake with Rhubarb. I drooled over the lush images of red skinned rhubarb floating in vanilla cake batter and sent a psychic message out into the food universe with the hope that some rhubarb would cross my path in the very near future. Fast forward to last Saturday, I'm at the market shopping for apples for tomorrow's TWD recipe and what should I see but some beautiful rose red stalks of rhubarb!
E is a big fan of rhubarb and encouraged me to pick some up, not that I needed any encouragement. I paired it with David Lebovitz's crème fraîche ice cream (page 59 in The Perfect Scoop). Not at all necessary, but so good.
I love cake and ice cream, you can wake me up at any hour for cake and ice cream.

I also saw Deb's recipe and made a mental note of it, didn't realize that rhubarb was in season already, have to keep an eye out when I go to the market this Friday :-)
BTW thanks for the link to my blog, I returned the favor:-)
hiya noskos, the rhubarb that you find in the markets now is called forced rhubarb, rhubarb that's actually grown out of season.
