Here are my best Easy Old-fashioned German Rhubarb Cake Recipes, from Rhubarb Crumble Cake to Streusel Cheesecake!
So, I’m back in Munich after what feels like a lifetime away, and guess what’s got me buzzing with excitement? Rhubarb season, baby! After seven years in Mexico, where rhubarb was just a distant dream, I’m ready to dive headfirst into the tangy goodness that is German springtime baking.
For all us first and second-gen Germans and anyone who’s ever fallen in love with German grub, rhubarb holds a special spot in our hearts. It’s not just about the taste; it’s a whole vibe, ya know? It’s about those cozy memories of Oma’s kitchen, the smell of freshly baked rhubarb crumble cake and German rhubarb pudding filling the air.
In Germany, rhubarb is like the MVP of the kitchen. It’s in everything from classic streuselkuchen to those experimental, ‘what-will-they-think-of-next’ creations. And let’s not forget, it’s technically a veggie! Mind blown, right? But hey, that just adds to the charm.
So, as I dust off my baking pans and raid the market for fresh rhubarb, I invite you to join me in my excitement to bake some delicious rhubarb cakes. Welcome to the rhubarb frenzy, folks!
Oh, and before I forget to spill the beans, guess what?
I’ve just dropped an ebook loaded with Oma’s best summer and spring cake recipes, some of them featuring our beloved rhubarb, of course! It’s hot off the press and available RIGHT NOW! So, if you’re ready to take your German Baking game to the next level and infuse a little piece of German tradition into your kitchen, hop on over and snag your copy.
