Very delicious, I added more rhubarb and 1 tsp. Vanilla extract. I would also add some chopped nuts to crumb topping. I know that I will make this cake a lot. Excellent , give it a try.

This is an excellent indulgence! Make it for company or you will want to eat the whole thing!

This recipe fits and bakes better in an 8 X 8 pan. I would double it for the 9 X 13 pan.

Absolutely delicious! Cut the caramel sauce recipe in half though, which was just the right amount. Anything more would have been overkill.

WOW! AWESOME! That is what everyone in my family thought! Wouldn't change a thing. Next time if I make this for my mom I will add walnuts- but just great as is!! Thanks!
