Raspberry-Lemon Whoopie Pies...

I had this urge to buy raspberries last week.  When I came across this recipe, I knew it was a must.  While living in Pennsylvania just after college (working at my first real hobby job) I first learned about the whoopie pie.  The Amish and the Mennonites made them fresh daily.  My favorites were the red velvet and the pumpkin.  After I coming across this recipe and I knew those berries had found their home! 

Also, this has become a little baking heavy.  I'm going to mix it up a little, later this week...stay tuned!  

Rhubarb Upside Down Cake...

I've been a fan of rhubarb since the summer of 2001.  That summer I was a camp counselor at a summer camp in Vermont.  The camp was actually a tennis camp and I was no tennis player back then.  I was a swimmer and a  lifeguard.  Here at camp I was introduced to rhubarb via the crumble and strawberry rhubarb pie.  I fell in love with its tangy, tart qualities and I was hooked.  Since I live in the South, I have to search out rhubarb.  I'm not sure why but you don't see it used much here.  Our local Whole Foods had some.  So, I bought around a pound this past week.  This Rhubarb Upside Down Cake caught my eye.  I gave it a whirl and I'm pleased with the results!  The cake was moist and tangy-- like a Pineapple Upside Down Cake but with a twist.  I'll definitely make this recipe again!
