Delicious Rhubarb Cake
Rhubarb is one of those things that you either love it or you hate it. I love it! I remember harvesting rhubarb as a kid and eating the tart stalks raw, with the end dipped in sugar. Now as an adult I love to use it in baked treats like this delicious rhubarb cake. Try this delicious rhubarb cake recipe!
I made this cake last year to bring to a gathering and it was a winner! Everyone enjoyed it so much that I knew that I would be making this again!
This time around the cake turned out more moist, almost like a rhubarb crumble instead of a cake. This was because I used frozen rhubarb instead of fresh and should have let the water drain out more before baking. The cake, however, was still delicious. It was like inventing a whole new dessert! If you are wanting a cake though I would advise to use fresh rhubarb or drain and pat dry your frozen and thawed rhubarb prior to baking. Either way it is a delicious treat!
