Rhubarb Streusel Cakes

These may not look like something really specail, but do not be fooled! My boyfriend loves rhubarb, so I thought I'd try to make a great rhubarb treat for him. This recipe I got off of epicurious.com. One of my favorite sites because one can read reviews from others who have tried the recipe. I have never been disappointed following the advice from the reviews. I followed the advice from a review on this one (teacherhansens) and these muffin cakes were fabulous! They were quite easy and quick to make. Which often makes or breaks a recipe for me. Although I would call these muffins, they are actually cake. I made the cake batter and folded in the rhubarb. Then dropped this into the muffin forms and covered with some struesel.

While I'm at it, I may as well comment on the silicone muffin forms i used. I have had these for a couple of years, but not used them much. I now have no choice if I want to make muffins as I don't have a muffin pan. But these were a breeze! A little difficult to clean if you (as i don't) don't have a dishwasher. But they are reusable and the muffins don't stick to them. But make sure you have enough. If you need to take the muffin out, it will dry out (or get soggy, depending where you live). Overall, a great summer treat!
