Oh boy this is good ! It disappeared so fast I had to make another one the next day which I sharec with my neighbors also. This cake is really moist and tastes like "Rhubarb Pudding" my gramma used to make in the early 40's. It is very easy to make and the neighbor I shared with said she had to drop by to see what i was baking.. grammajune

Yum Yum Yum! That's what I said when I took it out of the oven and I haven't stopped saying it since. Just like the one my mom used to make! Thanks Lennie.

This was my first rhubarb cake and the first time my grandkids had ever tasted rhubarb. When I served it with whipped topping, they all said it was delicious. Thanks for a good cake!
