Mille Feuille Crêpes Cake


You can find the recipe for this cake here.  It's quite an impressive looking dessert and it tasted great, but I'm not sure it was quite worth the amount of time and energy it took.  
This dessert requires a ridiculous number of eggs.
At this point, I'm pretty much an expert crepe maker.
We dressed up the cake with a nice powdered sugar design.

Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake




While typing this it occurred to me that while there are obviously alignment issues with the Underwood's typebars, I think there's also a problem with the platen.  It doesn't seem like it's gripping the paper tight enough, so the vibrations from hammering at the keys makes the lettering even more askew.  I'll have to test this...

Anyway, this really is a nice, light summer cake with a very fine crumb.  You can get Melissa Clarke's recipe here.

Not only is rhubarb super easy to grow, it also comes back every year.

The batter was nice and buttery and the lemon zest adds a really nice dimension.

Pre-flip, all the sweet rhubarby goodness stews at the botton of the pan.
