I'm always looking for rhubarb recipes. I have a nice patch of it growing at the back of my vegetable garden. This recipe was so nice and moist and did add extra rhubarb and cinnamon. Gave some to our elderly neighbors and they just raved over it. Will be making this many times this summer/nice and light dessert. I get the best recipes from this site! – Reviewed by Marylee Tharp
