Rhubarb Cake

11 Oct

My Mom was kind enough to give me her Fall rhubarb harvest! I love rhubarb! I love making rhubarb crisp, in fact I love it so much I never even thought of experimenting with other rhubarb recipes until dinner at Mr. H’s grandma and grandpa’s house one night when his grandma made this out-of-this-world rhubarb cake!

It’s moist, sweet, slightly tart, soft with a perfectly crunchy cinnamon sugar top! This has become one of our family’s favorite desserts, and I can’t wait to make it again! (Is it summer yet?!) Naturally, I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you. Make this as soon as you get the chance, I’m confident you will be pleasantly surprised, even if you or someone you know is not a fan of rhubarb. Try it, you won’t be sorry! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
