RHUBARB CREAM CHEESE COFFEE CAKE



Rhubarb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake image

I clipped this recipe out of Homemakers' Magazine years ago, always meaning to try it and never getting around to it. Well, I finally did try it and am sorry I didn't do so earlier. It is a delicious, moist cake with two scrumptious fillings - the bottom one is lemon-flavoured cream cheese, topped by fresh rhubarb, cooked to a jam-like consistency. They are then covered by a delicious streusel topping. I have adapted the instructions for the food processor, since that is what is used to put the cake together.
