RHUBARB DUMPCAKE

MOM'S RHUBARB CUSTARD TORTE



Mom's Rhubarb Custard Torte image

My mother made this often while I was growing up. She's been gone for 13 years, but I still make this at least once a year to rave reviews. No one has ever had anything like this but anyone who likes rhubarb loves it. It makes a lot, but when my husband takes this to work, I only get the empty pan back! Prep time is based on having to cut your rhubarb. If already cut, reduce to 30 minutes.
