A rich vanilla sauce is served with this tender cake from Biena Schlabach of Millersburg, Ohio. "The women at church made it for my 84th birthday," she says.
Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

I made this cake about a month ago to try it out and was very impressed. So I decided to make it again today but instead of rhubarb I used fresh cranberries and I added the zest of 2 oranges to the sauce. It was a success!!

Very good! I didn't make the sauce, was serving the cake later and didn't want it to be soggy. But it was awesome even without the sauce. Very moist and not crumbly at all. Flavor was there, but not overpowering and too tart. Was perfect.

Pleasantly surprised at how nice this cake was. My 10 year-old daughter now likes rhubarb. Next time I will use smaller pieces of rhubarb.

This cake was a hit! I had a bunch of rhubarb in the freezer and a church potluck. I thought making something with rhubarb could be risky; I love it, but I know a lot of people don't. I made it anyway - I doubled it and put it in a 9x13 pan. I came home with about 3 pieces! One lady told me it was the best thing she ever tasted and several wanted the recipe.

Wow! A good moist cake and the sauce adds an extra yummy touch. My family gives it a definite thumbs up!

I have made this cake many times. My son's girlfriend who didn't like rhubarb is now a rhubarb lover after eating this cake. I never saw or heard anyone enjoy a desert as much as she did.
