Rhubarb or Apple Cake image

This is a family recipe, and yes the ingredient amounts are correct. I got this recipe from my gran who got it somewhere else (i like to make it my own by adding 300g light brown sugar and 80g dark brown sugar). I have made it on numerous occasions and the reviews every time have been outstanding and i have had many comments such as the best cake i have ever eaten. Today our neighbour came around and tried it and said it is everything in one - moist, chewy, crunchy, soft, - she went on and on.
