Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I got this great recipe from my mother-in-law who's been making it for years! It doesn't have a strong rhubarb taste. It's sweet and moist. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I do. I always try to use fresh rhubarb. Never frozen and then thawed rhubarb because it doesn't work well.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Simple to make, this rhubarb cake is similar to a coffee cake. It's sweet and moist with tender bits of tart rhubarb throughout. Sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top creates a sugary crust that is a nice contrast in texture to the cake and adds a hint of cinnamon. A delicious light dessert or snack with afternoon tea.
