Notes
- Mixing the rhubarb with the flour first ensures it doesn’t sink to the bottom of the cake. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
- Leftover cake can be kept for up to 3 days at room temperature in a covered container.
- Freeze portions by wrapping in plastic wrap and storing in zippered bags for up to 10 weeks. Thaw at room temperature.
