I have a huge stack of rhubarb recipes I plan to make my way though all summer long. First up, I <a href="http://bit.ly/JXFcQc" target="_blank">Not Without Salt’s recipe</a> for rhubarb cake.</p> <p><strong><br/>Rhubarb Cake<br/><br/></strong><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p> <p>2 cups rough chopped rhubarb<br/>1 handful or so of strawberries halved (totally optional, my little addition)<br/>1 1/2 cups brown sugar <br/>1 stick soft butter<br/>1 egg <br/>1 teaspoon vanilla <br/>1 cup plain whole milk yogurt <br/>3/4 teaspoon kosher salt <br/>1 cup all-purpose flour <br/>1 cup semolina flour <br/>1 teaspoon cinnamon <br/>1 teaspoon baking soda<br/><br/><strong>Directions:</strong></p> <p>Butter and flour a 8 or 9″ (2″ high) round cake pan and pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.<br/><br/>In a small bowl add the rhubarb, strawberries and 1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar. Let that sit for 30 minutes. <br/><br/>In a large bowl cream the butter and 1 cup unpacked brown sugar until light. Add the egg and vanilla. Add the strawberry rhubarb mixture and yogurt. Stir well. <br/><br/>In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients and then add it to the rest of the ingredients stirring well to combine. <br/><br/>Spread in your prepared pan and bake for 50- 60 minutes or until the middle of the cake springs back when lightly pressed. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely. <br/><br/>Store well-covered for up to three days.</p>http://heartexplosion.com/post/23042124997http://heartexplosion.com/post/23042124997Mon, 14 May 2012 12:15:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v0pgyiFl1qz53m6o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bit.ly/KVfoTc%20" target="_blank">Yes</a>.</p>http://heartexplosion.com/post/22838913656http://heartexplosion.com/post/22838913656Fri, 11 May 2012 09:12:51 -0400<a href="http://bit.ly/J3yV3b">My Last Minute, Amazon Available Mother's Day Gift Guide </a>http://heartexplosion.com/post/22789583939http://heartexplosion.com/post/22789583939Thu, 10 May 2012 14:52:44 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s3qyqFEl1qz53m6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My Spring Uniform: <a href="http://bit.ly/IUULvc" target="_blank">J.Crew Icon Trench</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/IUUSXF" target="_blank">Zara Basic Court Shoes</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/KG8Y0m" target="_blank">Everlane White V-Neck</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/IUV8pF" target="_blank">OAK High Skinny Jeans </a>/ <a href="http://bit.ly/IUVgFp" target="_blank">Fleabags Traveler’s Clutch</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/JW9XTf" target="_blank">Gold Studs</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/JWa29H" target="_blank">Cold Picnic Macrame Necklace</a> / <a href="http://amzn.to/JWah4s" target="_blank">Rosebud Salve</a></p>http://heartexplosion.com/post/22744688266http://heartexplosion.com/post/22744688266Wed, 09 May 2012 19:36:52 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/22744349377/tumblr_m3s41nAYqA1qz53m6&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Beyonce - <em>Countdown.</em></p>http://heartexplosion.com/post/22744349377http://heartexplosion.com/post/22744349377Wed, 09 May 2012 19:32:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s0j1Lqg31qzt64zo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>True story.<br/><br/><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thegooglymoogly.com/post/22738914879/my-brand-new-and-first-pair-of-glasses-just" target="_blank">thegooglymoogly</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>My brand new (and first) pair of glasses just arrived in the mail.
