Innkeeper Comments:

We keep a local New England flavor to our breakfast offerings, with such ingredients as rhubarb, blueberries, cranberries, apples, pumpkin, maple, etc. This is one of our guests' favorites.

Ingredients:

  • l l/2 cup sugar
  • 3 1/4 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 eggs
  • l teaspoon salt
  • l teaspoon nutmeg
  • l teaspoon baking sode
  • 2 cups rhubarb
Instructions:

Cream sugar and butter. Add eggs and rhubarb. Sift and mix all dry ingredients. Add all together. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

Batter should be stiff/somewhat dry; if not, add some flour. A "liquidy" batter will result in a heavy/flat cake.

When done, rub some butter over top for a glaze. Serve plain or with strawberry jam.
