Yum! Do you can/freeze your Rhubarb? I want some now! I love cake. Is there anything better?

I freeze it. I love cake as well. Love rhubarb too, so the combo is perfect!

Yum.

You changed your blog name and I was wondering who you were on my following list. Silly me!

Thanks for sharing your recipe. I'm sure the sour cream makes it moist, and I just love rhubarb.

Liss, when I first started the blog I had no idea what to call it. I have been in the horse business for a long time and was accustomed to attaching the farm name to everything for internet searches. But I didn't like the name. So I removed the farm name from the title and kept this & that.

This cake is moist. I froze quite a bit of rhubarb and this is the first I used of it.

Thank you so much for the recipe! (I will be putting it in my column this spring, if you don't mind!)
That said, now I must say...damn you!
I started a diet (yep. Another one). If I made this, I would have to eat the whole thing in one sitting. Because that's how I roll. (Literally).
