Have to admit - I've never had rhubarb outside of it being combined with strawberry but these sound wonderful. I have to give it a try this summer, I've been seeing it all over the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteI love family recipes! This one looks delicious. Rhubarb is one of my favorite flavors, maybe because it is available for such a short season.
ReplyDeleteI made this cake, and it had a great flavor, however I'm baking at 5,000 ft and it fell really bad in the middle. Any suggestions???
