Oma's Giant Rhubarb Cake

Submitted by Lille

"This recipe is a family favourite from my Dutch Oma. According to my aunt, the recipe isn't Dutch, but came from a 4-H cookbook in the 1960's. It makes a huge recipe but can be baked in two smaller pans. Frozen rhubarb can be used, just thaw and drain first."
