My great-aunt gave me this recipe. It's especially delicious when rhubarb is in season, and tastes even better with the old-fashioned milk topping. But you'll love it even with frozen rhubarb and "modern-day" whipped topping!

Re: Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Cake

I made this 6/25/09, and I must say it is very good. My husband cut our rhubarb early afternoon and I made the cake right away. I added 1 cup of blueberries with the rhubarb and it is very good. This recipe is a keeper.
