Hi Sue Shame you’re not a fan of rhubarb – the cake truely is wonderful. If you ever get a chance to taste it, give it a go!! I’d agree that few of Nigella’s recipes fall into the “healthy” category but I’m happy to cut back on chocolate so that I can have a slice of scrummy cake instead!

Oh, I am a great fan of Nigella also! I have made a couple of chocolately things as well and they were outstanding. I should try more out of her books but right now trying to control my fat intake. This cake looks wonderful but I am not a fan of rhubarb.

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the welcome back I have been baking, just not feeling like blogging too much. Bad me!! Maybe I’ll blog retrospectively? This recipe and also the Rhubarb Grunt that Clotilde made are great ways to use up rhubarb. I wish that we had some in our garden, but then again, I’d probably never remember to cut it!

Niki – you will love HTBADG! I haven’t had a single recipe fail on me, which is slightly odd as there are droves of people out there who complain about the recipes being inaccurate. The chocolate marsala cake is awesome; as is the lemon drizzle cake (especially nice when warmed and served with lemon ice-cream); Hettie’s apple mincemeat is absolutely the best recipe for mincemeat ever; and the snow-topped spice cake for Christmas is just perfect. I’ve made it a few years running (the spice cake) as Dave doesn’t like rich fruit cake very much, although I may be converting him! Have fun cooking your way through it!! (The supper onion pie is fantastic too!)

Oh! I bought How To Be A Domestic Goddess only last month! I’ve already made 2 or 3 things from it (mainly chocolate) and am looking to make something else. This sounds perfect, as the weather has turned crisp and perfect for cake!

Angela! So happy to see you again! I was beginning to think you’d passed out near your computer from all the cake…
This Rhubarb recipe is gorgeous…yet another lovely recipe from the great Nigella. My parents happen to have some wild rhubarb that grows every year in the garden…I think it’s time to harvest that…perhaps I’ll have to try this recipe!
