Korea- Greetings to Seoul, Korea. Thanks for visiting my blog.
I love Rhubarb-ara cake! Can't wait to have some this summer.
I love rhubarb too and, for some reason, the last two lots that I planted failed miserably. They rotted at the crown. I'll have to try again. Maybe I don't need to plant them so deep to prevent them from getting too damp. Oh well, maybe next time. :D
Sounds delicious. Your blog is a very serene place to be.
MMM that sounds delicious! I know my husband always loves to go home to Indiana because he loves his grandmother's rhubarb pies! I think I'm gonna have to learn to make them for him! Will definitely have to try out your cake recipe too. Hope you have a blessed day!
Oh yum! This is definitely a recipe I'll make soon.
I'm a HUGE fan of strawberry rhubard custard pie. Hubby is never the same in the days following this special treat at our house. In fact, I dare say "all-things rhubard captivate him"!
Now I've got new ammunition.

Tileena- I'll being baking a cake very soon and will let you and Matty know.
Always looking for a new recipe and this one sounds great! Can't wait to try it...
Lesley- Have you made sure that the rhubarb is well-drained and perhaps "hilled"? Also, be sure to buy healthy plants. Good luck.
diane- Thank you!
LiteraryNut- I just love your name each time I see it, because I can definitely relate to it.
Let me know how you like the recipe.
Kathleen- Sounds like you found the secret to a man's heart. My husband LOVES to see me in the kitchen making delicious goodies.
It's the truth...men LOVE,LOVE,LOVE a woman who cooks for them.
Willa Fae- Hope you like the recipe, since you are one of the BEST COOKS on the face of the earth!!!
Yum! I LOVE rhubarb, but rarely get it down here.
Pat- Sometimes I find beautiful red rhubarb at Safeway and other grocery stores. You may find some trucked into your area.
How funny! Last night I made a raspberry/apple pie and Mike asked me to promise him that I would make him a fresh rhubarb pie! I promised I'd make a strawberry rhubarb pie as a compromise! Can you save me some rhubarb?
Linda- I'll save you a bag.
I just planted rhubarb this week ... and have to wait a year or two to enjoy the harvest ... but it will be well worth the wait.
Mrs.Mac- Time goes by so fast that it will be no time before you are getting a big harvest.
I have not made rhubarb cake but have made lots of pies and rhubarb crisp. I would like to get some started here. I like it a little but I swear Bob could live on it.
Lea- It seems like every man I know loves rhubarb.
Hi, Barbara!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I haven't had Rhubarb in years. I forgot how much I love it with strawberries!
I was at the store earlier today and just thinking about the fact that I wish we had some rhubarb growing in my yard... I was always picking rhubarb as a kid...Loved to eat it raw!!!
Thank you for posting this recipe. I made this cake quite often in the 70's and 80's but have since lost the recipe and really didn't think about it. I'm anxious to try it again. I lost your website and was so sad. I looked for about an hour and finally found it. I Love your beautiful blog. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Thank you for your posts.
Saleslady371- Thanks so much for stopping by. Come back often!
Michele- Wow! I've never eaten raw rhubarb. But I do love it in something sweet.
Phyllis- I'm so glad you found me again and found the recipe, too. Blessings.
Some how over the years, and my husband moving my rhubarb so often, I no longer have any. He did order some plants through the mail order, but they haven't arrived yet. I like to make a sauce and it's very good over vanilla ice cream.
Patty- Please share your recipe with us.
Beautiful plant! I've never tried rhubarb...what does it tast like? I guess I always thought it would be bitter.
