I got a fancy smancy tube cake pan...would this work with the Cake or
is the custard likely to stick to it?

I wouldn't. How would you get it out? Invert it? And I think the
baking time would be really wild. Eeeww. I serve it from the pan
rather than inverting to another serving plate. Seems I tried it once
and rhubarb-custard stuff stuck to the pan. Bad idea.

That's what I thought...but I had to ask. Woulda looked glorious if it
woulda worked.

Do you have the recipe somewhere on your web site?

Frankly, that rubarb cake idea has never appealed to me, but all of a
sudden I can't wait for rubarb to be in season!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 yellow cake mix -- 2-layer
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup granulated sugar
1 pint whipping cream -- 2 cups

Prepare batter for cake mix according to package directions; turn into
greased and floured 9x13" pan. Dump the chopped rhubarb on top of the cake
batter. Sprinkle the sugar on top of the rhubarb. Pour the whipping cream
(unwhipped) over the sugar. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes, until cake

±45 minutes. (5/16/95.)

I wonder if replacing some of the sugar with splenda would work?

No. But it's been posted recently. Shouldn't be hard to find.

I made it with frozen mixed berries (thawed) instead of the rhubarb and
people damn near trampled me to get seconds.

Good stuff.

I've also made it with frozen (thawed) cranberries with excellent
results.

I made this for a get-together hosted by my co-op and it disappeared
quickly (thanks, Barb!). I did cut the cake in the pan and transfer
it to a platter for serving. I cannot imagine trying to invert this
-- it took a little effort to make sure the custard was coming up
with the cake.
