Grandma's Rhubarb Cake

Grandma’s Rhubarb Cake

Rhubarb is abundant in many gardens all across the country. I personally LOVE anything rhubarb and have many recipes using this delicious vegetable. This cake is the classic cake you would find in your grandma’s kitchen, warm out of the oven and just waiting for you like a hug. The sanding sugar on the top is a delicious addition.
