BEST APPLE RHUBARB CAKE

My freezer is stocked full of rhubarb, so I decided to experiment a bit and came up with this cake.  It would be perfect served warm with a little vanilla ice cream.

Rhubarb grows really well in the north, so a few years ago we decided to plant a couple rhubarb plants.  If you’re unfamiliar with rhubarb, it is the plant that keeps on giving.  And giving, and giving and giving.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the fact that it attracts Japanese beetles in droves for about a month during the summer.  In fact, the abundance of beetles led me to pull up the majority of rhubarb not once, but twice this summer just trying to get rid of them.  The only thing that resulted in was more rhubarb!  It grows back faster than I can give it away.
