I've baked this cake every spring for many years, and my family loves it! At potluck dinners it disappears quickly, drawing compliments even from those who normally don't care for rhubarb. Use you own fresh rhubarb or find a neighbor who will trade stalks for the recipe! —Helen Breman Marydale, New York

Loved this recipe, made it many times.

added 1 tbsp of powdered strawberry gelatin to the topping and about 1/4c. more rhubarb to fill my skillet, and replaced nutmeg with cinnamon, it took me 45 min. to bake, and it turned out wonderful. thanks for this great recipe.

The cake was not done even after the toothpick came out clean, and the rhubarb topping was too juicy, it did not thicken up after it came out of the oven until it was completely cool. Good flavor though. I just think the method needs some tweaking.
