LUNAR RHUBARB CAKE

Rhubarb season is close,here where I live and rhubarb is one of my favorites.I always have a lot of rhubarb in my freezer for pies,or just to stew it up and have with home made bread.It makes beautiful and tasty jam. This recipe I want to share is one of many I have using rhubarb but it is one of the best.My husband's Aunt gave it to me a long time ago,along with some rhubarb and it is very moist,easy to make and tasty.Let me know if you like it.
