My bf's aunt's treasured recipe, constantly requested by guests of hers who's tried her famous Rhubarb cake. Cut out from a NZ newspaper, here's the description on the article: This is a recipe given to Marsden Principal Jenny Williams by her mother. Jenny has baked it for the school administration staff and they think it is absolutely delicious.
