This seems easy enough to attempt. Can you tell me if the sugar remains granular/gritty when the cake is done? Thanks!

Thanks for this recipe! I was just in my garden and spread some fertilizer around my rhubarb plants! Will definitely try this.

There is a lot of sugar already in any boxed cake mix. I bet, even though rhubarb is tart, that you could cut that extra sugar back to 1/2 cup and still have a tasty dessert.

It dissolves,mixes with the cream and makes an actual custard layer..it's really simple and good! And even with the cup of sugar, the tartness of the rhubarb is still evident!

I was just looking up the health benefits of rhubarb (good for digestion) and learned that Benjamin Franklin introduced it to the US.

Rhubarb is so seasonal ... I wonder if other fruit could be substituted?

I can't wait to try this! I also make a good rhubarb crisp. I buy the bags of frozen so I can use it year round.

Do you think this would be good with other fruits? Fruit suggestions, please as I'm not a fan of rhubarb but love the recipe with the custard layer. Thanks..

I've made this for years. I use 4, 5, even 6 cups of diced rhubarb and mix the rhubarb and sugar together and set it aside while I mix up the cake. (I like rhubarb, so the more, the better, to my way of thinking! If rhubarb is quite tart, use another 1/4 cup of sugar. I also add cinnamon to this mixture, 1/2 to 1 tsp.) I prefer to use half 'n half rather than the heavy cream, but my sister prefers to use heavy whipping cream. I've used other cake mixes besides yellow too. Strawberry is good! Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Delicious!
