I set out to bake this rhubarb cake with the leftover rhubarb in my garden, only to discover I didn’t have enough fruit. So I checked the freezer for leftover strawberries. Only one in the bag! Threw in the remaining handful of frozen blueberries too. Now there were only a few peach slices in the bag. Why not? Voilà! This is a rhubarb strawberry blueberry peach cake!

A Strawberry Rhubard Pie-Galette hybrid. My friend Sharon showed me this trick of using ALL the left over pastry. The rhubarb is this spring’s first crop. And if you like sweets, you might like It Happened on Sweet Street!

Dessert du dimanche!
This is the birthday cake that became a tradition in our family. It was originally baked every year by my son’s Hungarian babysitter, whom he called Baba. After she died, her daughter passed on to me Baba’s treasured, inexact recipe, which works perfectly every time! The line of strawberries is de rigueur! Enjoy! And if you like desserts, check out my new picture book, It Happened on Sweet Street!
