Sue of Palatable Pastime invited us Let Freedom Ring while baking our bundt this month and then she laughingly added this description:

Feel free to bake any Bundt you like for this event- after all, it is about "freedom". (And you thought this was going to be red white & blue for Independence Day, didn't you! ;) LOL!
Let's see what the others felt free to bake up:

rhubarb

I am still working my way through the abundance of rhubarb growing in my garden.  Most of my baking and a lot of my cooking contain this vegetable that is often treated like a fruit.

Strawberry Rhubarb Bundt Cake

I made a simple sour cream cake and then decided to dollop the batter and the strawberry/rhubarb mixture instead of stirring it all together.  I thought it would make for a better presentation.  As it turned out, I think I would have been better off either layering the batter, filling and batter or mixing it all together.

So while it was not as attractive as I would have liked the taste made up for it.  All that tart sweet goodness combined with cinnamon and cake was to die for.  The scoop of ice cream was a perfect way to finish it off.

Strawberry Rhubarb Bundt Cake

Tender cake laced with strawberries and rhubarb makes the perfect summertime treat for your Independence Day celebration.
Prep time: 10 MCook time: 50 MTotal time: 60 M

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 c. chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 c. chopped strawberries
  • 1/4 c. cinnamon sugar
  • 1 stick butter, room temperature
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 2 c. flour
  • 4 t. baking powder
  • 3/4 c. sour cream
  • 1/4 c. milk

Instructions:

  1. Place the strawberries and rhubarb in a small bowl. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar.  Toss to coat and set aside.
  2. In large bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.  Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Combine the baking powder and flour.  Turn the speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until incorporated. 
  4. With speed still on low add the sour cream and yogurt.  Mix until combined.  Increase speed and mix well.
  5. Put the batter by dollop along the bottom of a bundt pan that has been treated with baking spray.  Add dollops of the rhubarb mixture, repeat once more and then finish with dollops of batter.
  6. Bake in a preheated 350* oven for 45-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the batter portion removes cleanly.  Let cool in pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before turning it out onto the rack to cool completely.

    1. It is a tart vegetable that we treat as a fruit using it in desserts often with strawberries whose sweetness complements the tartness.
