    We really enjoyed this cake. I replaced the vanilla with almond extract and added a few extra drops to the topping.

    Tweak: Theresa Altered ingredient amounts:

    Like others I found this an easy cake to make and irresistible when cooked. I did change the almonds for walnuts as I love them also added 25% more rhubarb and an extra teaspoon of bicarb. I didnt put the nuts into the mix but only ontop and added extra. Will use this time and again.

    Review: Dessert Diva

    I work at a B & B. I decided to make this coffee cake because I was craving rhubarb. Well, am I ever thankful this made two cakes! I served only 4 guests but they each had two pieces! Unheard of, at least as far as sweets usually go. This was DELICIOUS and then some. Thank you for such a wonderful and easy recipe. I will definately be making this in the future. Of course, I may also be tempted to try it with raspberries or strawberries...
