Rhubarb Crisp from the U.S.

In the U.S. you will find desserts that contain a layer of fruit covered with some type of crumbs. They are called cobbler, crumble, or crisp. I brought today a rhubarb crisp and wanted to explain briefly what the similarities are and what are the differences. They all need relatively few ingredients and can easily be made by beginners. Would you like to give this dessert a try? I am sure it will miraculously disappear as quickly and easily as possible, there is only the two of us, however, it was gone so quickly. It really is addictive!

Super Easy and Quick Rhubarb Cake

You need a super easy and quick rhubarb cake that is simple to make and done rather quickly? I got you covered. We are going to make a dough that serves as the base as well as the crumbs. This dough does not need to chill like pie crust and this is also the reason why the cake is in the oven rather quickly. The filling also has to be prepared, but not be heated, it will be placed raw on the base and then baked to perfection. In Germany this cake is traditionally served with a dollop of whipped cream and/or icing sugar sprinkled on top. I originally had planned to dust the cake before taking pictures, but I somehow forgot. I digged into the warm cake and devoured two pieces, that is how excited I got!

Rhubarb Strudel

I am introducing rhubarb strudel to you today. I already have an article on how to make strudel dough from scratch on the blog. Of course I have an apple strudel on here as well. However, I wanted to include a spring version of strudel and decided to go for rhubarb. But try to imagine this, as a food blogger it can often take several weeks before a recipe goes on the blog. This means seasonal fruits/vegetables are needed very early on. I mean, you may make the recipe, you have to take pictures, you need to tweak the recipe, write it down, rewrite segments, etc. I am telling you, it takes a while. So when I was looking for rhubarb, it was still March. However, since I saw asparagus and strawberries being sold, which are usually in season at the same time, I thought I may also find rhubarb. But no, rhubarb, I was told, is definitely not available until April.

Brazilian Carrot Cake or Bolo de Cenoura

If you have ever watched a “Latina” mom while baking or cooking for a large crowd, you know why cakes need to come together fast. This Brazilian carrot cake falls into this category, the cake really is prepared rather quickly. You basically throw together all ingredients and then whiz them in a food processor. Pour the mixture into a baking pan and then the oven takes over. The second time I made this cake, it only took me ten minutes before it went into the oven. Can I interest you in this bolo de cenoura?
