Submitted by Erica Vasta

"The tart flavour of rhubarb is delightfully complimented by brown sugar. A 'MUST' for afternoon tea!"

Really tasty and easy.... The topping's sweetness nicely compliments the tartness of the rhubarb. Very moist and light. Only comment would be that some parts of the recipe could have more explanation. For example, how to prepare muffin tins etc., for those not experienced with baking.
