"This recipe is from my co-worker's mother. It is his favorite cake - has requested it every year for his birthday for as long as he can remember. He brought it to work last month and oh my.....YUMMY!!! I don't like rhubarb - but this is awesome!! A definite treat to try! Thanks Wil! Prep time DOES NOT include chill time."

We love this recipe! If you don't feel like splitting the cake into layers, just make extra filling and after you slice the cake, let the people add as much filling as they like to their cake slice. You don't see marshmellows in many rhubarb recipes, it's very good.
