Well, I was invited to Easter Dinner today (they are Eastern Orthodox Christian) and I offered to bring dessert.
I heard they love rhubarb, so I decided to Google for Barb's Rhubarb custard cake recipe.
I found it yesterday morning, have been corresponding with her about it, and I made it this morning.
While it was in the oven, I decided to Google RFC and read the reviews of this cake. I remembered they were raves, and I read a few yesterday when I found the recipe.
Well, for some reason, this morning when I did my search, the first recipe that came up was the one where Barb stated she originally posted an incorrect amount of sugar, it was really 1 cup of sugar, not two.
Naturally, the first one I found yesterday, and therefore, the one I printed out to make this morning, called for TWO CUPS of sugar. Now, I have to say, as I was making this cake, I looked at one cup of sugar and it seemed like enough, but then again, what do I know? I've never cooked rhubarb before, so instead of following my instinct, I followed the recipe.
help me with buttercream frosting please 3585JArthur It sounds like you are using Alton Browns recipe, and based on that buttumption it sounds like you are adding the butter too soon at the end. You have to really be patient...
Of course, every single recipe I pulled up this morning (once the damn thing was in the oven) called for 1 cup sugar. And I can't find the one with 2 cups online, just to prove I'm not imagining things.
Anyway, there's nothing to be done now, I really wish I had noticed two different recipes yesterday, but the bottom line is:
Has anyone made this thing with 2 cups of sugar? And how was it if you did?
Or should I just dump this in the garbage and run over to the market and pick up a Mrs Smiths pie and call it a day?
So much for "tried and true". I shoulda made the f%$&ing pie recipe from Everyday Food.
