Rhubarb Cake

Another delicious Rhubarb dessert! Mom (Shan) has been making this favourite for a long time and since I tasted it while in Thunder Bay a few years ago, now our household is enjoying it too. It is especially tasty when served slightly warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Rhubarb Cake
