Cookie - This cake is really nice. Mine didn't have the red rhubarb look as you can see but is yum.. We had some of it with custard for dessert last night and the rest went with DH this morning to our rhubarb suppliers. As you can see I ran out of rhubarb and used apple for one corner.

Nay-nay - This turned out lovely especially with the custard!

SueJen - Made this, it was brilliant.

Amy - the recipe doubled easily. I gave one to the friend who gave us the rhubarb, so I hope its good! We'll have some of our cake for dessert tonight. Thanks for the recipe CP.

CP63. We've been thinking alike again. ;) I have kept this recipe as I plan to make it today or tomorrow as I have some rhubarb.

 Will do it after I've been to the dentist to start the process of ANOTHER crown. My teeth are worth more than a small car. Not to mention that I hate the dentist-a hang over from being a kid and the school dentist hurting like gyp as they didn't give you injections.

I remember those days well Cookie but times have changed and now they even put some gel on first so that you don't feel the needle.  As a child I used to scream my head off as soon as I saw all those things hanging overhead and the dentist wouldn't put up with it (especially as that set my young brother off as well) and he just told Mum to take us home and bring us back when we could behave  :-)) :-)) :-))

Interesting CP63 - wonder why they didn't use the egg yolks instead of 75 g of butter?  Strange?  maybe not - somebody will tell me why?

Well nearly off to make the rhubarb upside down cake. The dentist is really sweet. I told her I can stand lots of needles but no pain as she was grinding the tooth down. She was very good about it. It didn't hurt a bit. The numbness is just starting to wear off now, 4 hours after she gave me the injections. She is very slight and had trouble with the moulds, poor girl ended up doing 3 of where the new crown will be. Things have certainly changed in dentistry in the last 51 years.  Thank goodness.
Must go and do the rhubarb cake.

 Does anyone know if this would this work if I used the egg yolks instead of butter?
