Stephanie's Rhubarb Cake
Rhubarb is abundant in the spring. I grew up with it and Mom always made cakes and pies. Everyone in my family loves the tartness of the flavor...especially the men in my family.
My German friend Stephanie is an amazing cook. She gave me this recipe in the early spring. This cake is AMAZZZING and it is now on my "Favorite List". If you like rhubarb...you must try it!
Enjoy!
(By the way...I'm making up a couple cakes today in honor of those men for Father's Day.)
