I loved the flavor of this cake, but the texture was a bit dense. I think I would try using a different type of flour next time, maybe a cake flour.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The rhubarb gave it a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cake and caramel sauce. I will definitely be making this again.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more butter or oil to the batter next time.
