Lemon Rhubarb Tea Cake

Lemon Rhubarb Tea Cake

It’s spring which means my rhubarb is out. I’ve made strawberry rhubarb scones before which is always a hit but my strawberries haven’t started yet. This tea cake actually uses a donut batter so technically I could have fried it into donuts… but that’s an

Spring is here, which means my ducks have started laying in earnest. 7 of the eggs have gone into the incubator to replenish my flock, but I’m still looking at a good amount of eggs from my remaining 3. I’ve made mini soft boiled ramen
