Jenny has baked it for the school administration staff and they think it is absolutely delicious.

This cake was delicious! The only thing I would change is to use less sugar. I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but I thought I'd give this cake a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The rhubarb flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The cake was also very moist and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
