My sister says this cake freezes well. I don't know - it's never lasted long enough to have any to put in the freezer.

Sounds delicious, we have loads of rhubarb growing so should give this a go.

I put some of this in the freezer right away so that I don't eat it all up in one day.:D

The freezer is a safe for me since I know how to open the freezer door!

I make a similar type recipe and add some oatmeal to the topping just to make me feel that it is more healthy!

Breaking news: baked, served, devoured...seconds! So glad I checked out this thread this morning. Thanks so much bearisgray...I'm thinking I will take 4 squares left over & make & freeze a couple of ice cream sandwiches with this!

Thank you for the update. :) It is not really a "pretty" cake - but we sure like it!

Baked this today with my granddaughter. We all really enjoyed this, there's plenty of left overs. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
