My mother used to make this snacking cake all the time as we had rhubarb growing in our backyard every summer... so delicious :) I can also be dressed up with some fresh whipped cream and a mint leaf to serve at a party! —josieandsam

Sounds so delish!! And easy, too. Just love this. Must have been out of this world with freshly picked rhubarb! Saved it to my recipes. ;o)
