today I am introducing rhubarb muffins.
take the recipe for rhubarb and orange cake, realise you don't have ground almonds, and use some more flour instead.
I cooked the rhubarb a bit first as I didn't think the shorter cooking time for buns would cook the rhubarb properly, dollop the cake mix into bun cases, add a blob of rhubarb, cook for 15 mins, and then add the almond sugary topping, and cooked for a further ten minutes at the lower temperature.
they are Very good.
unfortunately the ones that looked the best got eaten first, without having a photo shoot, so only the sad slightly squished ones (they are very gooey!) were left.
but don't despair, pop on over to Flossie Teacakes, where there is a delightful pattern for a pinflower cake topper, make yourself one or two, and stick them in your cakes.
even squashed cakes look delightful with a pinflower in them!
Squashed cakes taste goo too. Ax
ReplyDeleteYum - they sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...can I come to tea? JOan
ReplyDeleteV. elegant bun papers too! A well dressed muffin indeed.
ReplyDeleteOooooh yummy - the cakes and the pinwheels look divine!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious - I love your cake topper too - they look like colours which would be more acceptable to male cake eaters than mine were too (although that's not necessarily a good thing - it could be quite handy to have cake toppers that worked as an eating deterrent to others in the house, leaving more for the baker to eat!).

Oooh, rhubarb, muffins and fabric pinwheel flowers. What could be better?
ReplyDeleteOoh, they look as good as they sound.
ReplyDeleteYummy, I can't wait for my rhubarb to be ready now :)
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognised that pinwheel from somewhere.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm these muffins sound delicious, and the one here looks yummy, especially with the delightful pinwheel added! Such a good idea, and thank you for the link!

ReplyDeleteMmmm! Squishy, gooey muffins sound divine, and I don't normally like Rhubarb! I could eat the pinwheel, too, it's so pretty! xCathy
ReplyDeletemy family who don't like rhubarb eat the muffins very happily, I don't tell them and they don't notice! x
DeleteOoo those sound and look delicious, I love rhubarb, my mum used to make rhubarb and orange jelly, that is orange jelly with bits of stewed rhubarb in it, delicious and not to taxing for a terrible cook like me. - Annie
