Yum! I could have eaten the whole pan myself! You'd never know it was low-fat--very moist. I also subbed half the sugar for baking Splenda. Very good--thanks.

This was so easy! First time baking with rhubarb i was a bit scared but everything was fine :) But Seriously, guys, why hasnt anyone rated this yet? anyways my family thought it was very yummy. altho, as usualy i did make some adjustments: instead the oil i substituted more applesauce rounding it off to 1/2 cup applesauce, and i didnt add any walnuts coz we had none. After baking it i thought it might have needed a bit more time, but it just ends up being really moist and almost pudding-like. AND the heavenly cake smelled like those mini dounuts from the carnival coming out of the oven hehe! but everyone thought this was excellent, thanks Karen!
