Strawberry Rhubarb Buckle
This strawberry rhubarb buckle is a spin on my mom's strawberry rhubarb cake recipe. Growing up in Wisconsin, we had a patch of rhubarb growing in our backyard, and I loved all of the delicious desserts my mom would make when it was in season. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
