Went down really well with old(er) and young alike. Will be a regular bake! - 14 Mar 2011
This was very tasty and a great way to use up Rhubarb. We have a nice supply from the garden and this Cake/Bread went down a treat. The Rhubarb is somewhat 'disguised' and you would not know it was in the bread unless someone told you, which is perfect as my family say they don't like Rhubarb but they love this! But I found it better not to melt the butter for the topping and just to rub it into the sugar and cinnamon. This will be a regular bake. - 22 Jul 2011
