I barely got a chance to taste this before it was gone. I cut the recipe in half and made in a 9x9 baking for 30 minutes, put it out to cool while I ran an earn when I got home there was only one corner left. The hint of tartness from the rhubarb combined with that sweet crumbly toping made for a nice snack cake. Thanks for the post. -
I made this cake for myself last night, and I've already eaten half of it. I'll definitely be making it again. The cake has just the right sweetness, is moist and the only change I made was to add some blueberries to the 2 cups of rhubarb. I love the streusel which seems to form a crust on the top of the cake. It would be great with ice cream or whipped cream, but the cake is also 'a keeper' without it. Thanks Alvinakatz for posting it.

<p>I live in Seattle, but have also lived in the DC area, the Mid-west, California, the South, and New England, as well as China and India plus travel a fair bit, so I have experienced a good number of cuisines and like them all. I eat mostly vegetarian and mostly do a lot of scratch cooking. I am known for my creative use of leftovers and whatever is in the fridge. Too bad those recipes can't go easily into Zaar.</p>
