I tried this cake without the vanilla sauce and used whole-wheat flower and almonds in the streusel topping. It was excellent!

Wonderful cake. Loved the sauce. Did not have a bean so I substituted 1tsp vanilla extract. Let it simmer a little longer and LOVED it! Definitely one to keep around.

I made a double recipe of this cake for a church potluck this past weekend- and they licked the pan clean! I’ve got another one in the oven right now that I made with frozen cranberries instead of rhubarb- can’t wait to try it

Sometimes cakes are just perfect in their own simplicity without the addition of a sauce however delicious that sauce may be. Love the rhubarb recipe!

I made this today. Very moist and yummy. A simple flavour that lets the taste of the rhubarb shine through. It was great warm and cold. I did not make the sauce. I did add about an extra 1/2 cup of rhubarb – just because Thanks for the recipe.

I love this idea! I’ve never been quite enticed enough by a pie or crumble to bother with rhubarb, which isn’t my favorite flavor–but I think a crumb cake might just do me in. Oh my.

I was just at the grocery store passing by bundles of beautifully blushed rhubarb, and thinking I wish I had a good recipe to put these beauties to use, and now I do! This looks like a terrific recipe!

Man that looks good. What a nice change from the delicious yet predictable crumbles and pies (which I also love). I think I would be of the same mind regarding the sauce. I’m sure it amazing, but sometimes cake is better as is.

I HAVE to remember to go beg my sister for rhubarb. She promised some to me but I think we BOTH keep forgetting. As soon as I have some in my hot little hands, this is going on the agenda! Thanks, Jamie.

I used to have a rhubarb plant but it was obviously planted along with a little apple tree. As the tree grew and shaded it more and more, it tried valiantly to keep going each spring but I finally caved and dug it up and pitched it. I mean, I don’t like rhubarb or use it, so what’s the big deal, right?

Then I discovered one year the beauty of a plant that adds such flavor with a bit of tart and now wishing I had removed the apple tree. Don’t get me wrong; love apples but most of ours have ONE bite out of them from the squirrels; they left the rhubarb alone!
