Before summer rhubarb gets too sturdy-stemmed, I'm about to tempt you with CAKE. Crunchy on top, just the right side of moist beneath, here's a pudding-cake with mass appeal, rhubarb-lover or no.
Ah, shame. You could try it with apricots but it might be too wet as there’s a lot of fruit in this cake. If they were firm and a little underripe it could work. Raspberries could be good, but fold them in gently as they are so fragile. Later in summer: plums!
Going to make this today for a class this weekend where we are working with rhubarb (fermenting) and I was scratching my head about an appropriately themed cake for coffee time! Thank you
Oh my word - such a serendipitous arrival in my inbox, Karen. Older son is due home for one night only this week, and he's a joy to cook for, being: 1/ a foodie (and good cook himself), 2/ a student, so not always able to indulge his foodie tendencies, 3/ a fan of cakes and bakes of all kinds, and 4/ hugely appreciative when cooked and baked for. I hadn't decided on pudding yet. I have now. Rhubarb cake and greek yogurt, yay!
Everything about that cake is right up my street. Thank you - and Stephanie...I have a book of hers that I turn to often, and it's been so reliable
It’s a keeper
This is so good. I have really similar recipe, and make in a springform pan. Have also made it with apples.
I make it in a springform or loose-bottom pan, too. Such a good cake.
Love Rhubarb, Cake & Cinnamon but can't find it near me anymore😓 any substitutions? Apricots?

Thanks!!! I scoured the supermarkets and finally found rhubarb yayyyy!!! Will try with under ripe apricots/cherries. And plums.
Can’t beat a bit of rhubarb!
This is very true. But I would add to the list apricots, raspberries, plums and blackcurrants. I am fruit-fickle!
Love this! Reminds me of the lemon almond Birthday Cake I celebrate with every year.
