Having never used Rhubarb in baking this is a first for me; I remembered seeing this cake on Antonia’s Food Glorious Food Blog (a great blog and worth visiting) and also more recently in my latest edition of BBC Good Food magazine. For me it jumped out as the ideal choice for my first rhubarb based bake. The ginger sponge is a light version of the old-fashioned gingerbread. The edition of rhubarb brings a wonderful moistness to the cake. This cake can be served with tea or even better, our plan for this evening, is to serve with a big dollop of custard. Rhubarb and custard with the spice of ginger, mmmm.

I love rubarb in cakes and desserts.
What a gorgeous looking cake. The next time I get some rhubarb I'm making this.
Good morning! This rhubarb cake looks like one of the best recipes for using this great fruit. Looks so moist and flavorful! We have a whole patch of rhubarb growing in the yard..it's not ready yet..but when it is I'll be trying this for sure!
Love,

Maria, this looks gorgeous! Love your blog!
I haven't seen any rhubarb this year yet, but I can nearly smell this too, Yum!
This looks great because you can either have it as a pudding or it could be eaten as a cake.
I love a cake that has two identities! Mx

Hi Maria,
I made this at the weekend, oh my god it's fab. It was eaten within half an hour. The family loved. I couldn't believe how moist it was.
This is a keeper.
