Strawberry Rhubarb Cake with Orange

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake:55 min YIELD: 8 servings
I came up with this strawberry rhubarb cake when I wanted to make something with rhubarb and strawberries that wasn't a pie. If you know someone who hasn't tried rhubarb before, this is a great way to introduce them to it. —Theresa Kreyche, Tustin, California
