This is a recipe for the cake I made when my mother brought me rhubarb from her garden last week. We enjoyed slices of it warmed, with whipped cream.
Rhubarb 'n Lemon Cake
Line small loaf tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 190C.
INGREDIENTS
70g butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups SR flour, sifted
1/2 cup milk
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup chopped rhubarb
Melt butter, mix in sugar and lemon zest, then beat in eggs one at a time until well combined. Mix in flour alternately with milk. Stir rhubarb through mixture. Pour into lined loaf tin.
Bake at 190C for 50 minutes. Cool on rack.
You could substitute other fruit for rhubarb if desired, but I loved the tart flavour of the rhubarb and lemon zest combined with the sweetness of the cake. Enjoy!
Do you like baking, or are you more of a savoury type?

Hi Adina! Just came to say hello. I'm in your Aussie/Kiwi campaign group. Also, I'm stealing your Rhubarb and Lemon cake recipe!
Steal away...and hope you enjoy it. :-)
Nice to meet you - I'm a fellow campaigner from the Aussie / NZ group. Also, I'm a huge baker, and love the sound of your cake... last night I made a huge batch of snickerdoodles... yum yum
Another campaigner from the Aussie/NZ group popping by to say hello.
Not one for baking, but where's there's cake ... I'll sure help you eat it. ^_^
You know... I don't bake much, but MAN I love the sour sweet combo of lemon or rhubarb in a sweet, so this sounds really appealing. I like sweet (honestly, I like sweet like an American, which most of the world finds TOO sweet). I like salty. I like savory... the only think I'm picky about is not mixing the sweet and savory (not a big fan of sweet meat coatings--I like spicy barbeque, not sweet, and I NEVER put pineapple on a pizza)
Sounds good! And I'm a tweaker too. Hasn't worked out awesome for me yet, but I won't give up :) <3 from a fellow campaigner and now follower
Hey there, fellow campaigner! :-)
I'm more of a savoury person myself - I love to cook. I do like baking, too, though, and my dad just LOVES lemon meringue pie, so I have a sneaking suspicion he'd like your rhubarb and lemon cake! I'll have to try it on him...
Greetings, fellow Urban Fantasy campaigner!
Huh, we used to have rhubarb growing at the bottom of the garden. I wonder if it's still there.
I love that you call yourself a tweaker. What a very appropriate thing for an author to be in 'real life.'
I always drag myself to bake or cook but when I get around to doing it, I am immersed in the experience and feel very happy.
I should do it more often ...
Hi fellow campaigner, just found you in urban fantasy :) I rarely bake but when I do, I'm the same: I have to change the recipe - I hate regulated activities :))

Hey! I'm also a campaigner. :)
People are always telling me I'm a baker and I hate baking. I hate it that my kids beg me to play with them the second I get my hands floury and I too change the recipe always!!! I can make one decent chocolate cake recipe but compare that to my mum who bakes everything from cheesecake to quiche to black forest gateau I am so not in her league and no amount of compliments will drag my behind into the kitchen for anything other than raiding the snack cupboard or cooking a quick dinner :)
Hi Adina. Well we are old friends who have lost touch so I'm saying hi to all my fellow Aussies/NZers.
Hope all goes well with you.

Baking!!! I love baking. And sweets. And cake... especially cake.
I'm usually missing the "key" ingredient, whether that's a fruit or chocolate or coconut... prevents me from just randomly making stuff everyday, which is probably a good thing. :D
Yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
I'm your newest follower and fellow campaigner - just wanted to say, "hey"!
Sounds delectable! I love to bake, but not when it's hot out. It used to be I would be out of eggs (and I believe I found that one could substitute 1/3 of a banana for an egg). I have eggs around more often now, though.
Fellow campaigner! I'll be posting a brief intro on Thursday.
Hmm rhubarb and I don't go well. I love baking cookies, fast and easy. And chocolate is a must. I don't know what can replace it though.

Hi - fellow Campaigner here - your blog is lovely and I look forward to getting to know you.
See you out there....
P.S. I'm a tweaker too when I cook - I rarely measure - unless I'm baking.
Hi, I'm in the MG/YA campaign group. Just checked in to say hello.
That cake sounds so yummy! I love rhubarb and I love to bake. It's probably one of my favorite things to do if the product turns out well. Welcome on board again to the Campaign!
hmmmmm Rhubarb. I love this with custard...yummy.
anyway just stopping in to say hello:-)
