Country Rhubarb Cake.
Is it a Cake or a Pie?
Make this recipe and
you decide..
Head on out to your rhubarb patch and
pick some stalks of rhubarb or
if your like me,
head to your local farm stand and
pick up a bunch or two.

Another thing to remember...
rhubarb is excellent when frozen.
Simply chop fresh rhubarb into bite-size cubes,
measure cubes, place cubes into zip-lock freezer bags,
write the amount and
date on the front of the freezer bags and
freeze for up to one year.
No need to thaw frozen rhubarb before using in a recipe.
Country Rhubarb Cake is the perfect
summertime dessert to serve your family,
especially over this holiday weekend.
One thing is for certain,
after one bite of this cake,
you'll be calling Country Rhubarb Cake
Delicious!
