Merry May-O + Never Enough Cake

[rebeccmeister]

I'm a day late posting this, but yesterday morning my sister, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law all participated in an online Morris dance to welcome in the spring. Yay! More screenshots from the performance on Flickr.



For all of the horrible downsides of our current circumstances, there are some silver linings. My sister-in-law has really been missing her Morris friends ever since she moved away to places that don't have groups. The virtual format has given her a chance to catch up and participate again. It also meant that I got to watch the antler dance while comfortably at home, at 9 am, ha!

When annikusrex makes a strong recommendation for a recipe, I listen. Sometimes. So I baked this Lemon Buttermilk Rhubarb Bundt Cake last night (cue lots of ensuing family discussion about differences between tube bans and bundt pans!).

SO GOOD!





Due to current physical distancing orders in my state, I'm going to have to eat this entire cake by myself. DARN. (yes I will pace myself)

It still drives me nuts that rhubarb is as expensive as it is in the grocery store, and that we can't get giant bags of frozen rhubarb chunks here. I did get to put in one tiny stalk from the plants out back.

Today: Grade papers until I die.

I was a morris dancer myself (northwest style) when younger and I still play for dancing.

Danced with this lot!

Yay! My sister and brother-in-law have done some international traveling to play and dance in the past. Maybe there will be a chance to connect on this front some day!

Do not die of grading papers. Then you won't be able to finish the cake!

Wow! I need that cake! 😀

Yay, I'm glad you liked it! The true bundt does drip the icing more gracefully, but that looks delicious. I froze some of my cake to try to extend its life. Will let you know how it goes if I defrost it.
