I have two large patches of rhubarb. Mark has always given it away because I didn't use it. I decided I was a vision of domesticity this year, leaving me with a desire to use my own rhubarb. I have made two pies and some sauce so far, so now I wanted to try something new. I did a recipe search for rhubarb cake and decided to use this one. I started before I realized I only had 1/2 cup of sour cream, so I used 1/2 cup of banana yogurt to make 1 cup. It didn't seem to matter, as this is good. The recipe didn't say what to do with the 1/2 cup sugar and the nutmeg. As it was at the end I figured it was to be sprinkled over the top before baking. I believe I was right!

4 Tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 Cups Firmly Packed Brown Sugar

4 Cups Rhubarb cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg

I'm going to try it! Looks good!
I am such a rhubarb fan and my husband absolutely hates the stuff! It must not be sweet enough for him but I like the tartness. I do have a super easy cake recipe for rhubarb and it only entails four ingredients that I can get him to eat sometimes. This one sounds really good. I keep repeating to myself...from my lips to my hips and who cares!
I'll have to sidestep this one as I've never been a big fan of rhubarb, but if you say it was good, I believe you. ;-)
Grace swallowed a pigeon? Oh my! Ringo is rather fond of rats and mice, and the occasional opossum if it tries to swipe his dog food. Woe to the opossum who tries that!
I am defiantly trying me some rhubarb cake! Was the rhubarb you added raw?
My kids and I love rhubarb!
Queen: Good and very easy!
Alicia: I don't think you need to worry too much about from lips to hips!
Oz: So far she is sticking to pigeon.
Liss: Yes it's raw.
I made something similar to this rhubarb recipe a month or so ago! It turned out very nicely and tasted yummy!! I recommend it for anyone else to try!
ooohhh, that looks great! Put the kettle on and I will be right over!
Coffee is on. : )
