Rhubarb Cupcakes with Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting

For my birthday my brother's family gave me this cupcake pan and liners from Ikea.  The cupcakes are taller and more narrow than a normal cupcake.  I wanted to make a new recipe to try out the pan and I remembered I still had some rhubarb leftover.  So rhubarb cupcakes it was!  

I have to say these were really good!  The rhubarb kept the cake moist and tart and the raspberry frosting gave it some sweetness.  Once I added the raspberries the consistency of the frosting ended up being more like a thick yogurt than a traditional icing but the combination was great!

You can see how these are much taller.  It kind of reminded me of a Smurf house!!

Rhubarb + Cheesecake = Delicious!

Look at this beautiful rhubarb!

We had a church potluck yesterday and I wanted to bring something with rhubarb but didn't want the same old rhubarb dessert. I did a little searching and found this Taste of Home recipe for cheesecake. It was good and I got a lot of requests for the recipe. I made bars because I wanted it to feed a lot of people but I think next time I'll double it and make it into a cake.
