Rhubarb and Ginger Cake
I bought some Rhubarb the other day. It has since then been in the fridge. Staring at me. I was walking home from work yesterday though, and a sudden thought occurred to me, a previous well loved recipe is for apple cake, and surely rhubarb is pretty similar to apples when it comes to moisture content?
