Hi just curious if you’ve ever tried making this by hand. I can imagine doing this in winter, when the butter doesn’t melt quickly.

Good lord! Rhubarb has totally taken over my kitchen! Last week it was rhubarb syrup and this will definitely be on the dockett for this week! I can't wait to try it!

I made the cake and the rhubarb compote for supper tonight – it was great! I baked mine in a 9×13 pan (25 minutes), and added a bit of almond flavoring with the vanilla – everybody had a big piece, and the kids are taking the leftovers to work tomorrow for lunch. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Beautiful cake and that rhubarb sauce looks fantastic. What a spectacular description she gives for this cake. I have not read her writing before, but I will now. Thank you.

Hmmm… I wonder what the "Morning After Hog Butchering" recipe is like… sounds… meaty! Hahha! No, in all seriousness, thanks for this post. She sounds like an amazing person and I will definitely check out those recipes! I just cooked with rhubarb for the first time last night (and just only tasted it for the first time this past weekend) and now understand why everyone loves it!
