  1. How do you serve the Rhubarb Custard Cake? Do you need a spoon to dish it
    out of the pan?

    Nope - it cuts just as nice as you please ;-) I just cut it into
    individual portions.

    Once you've got the first piece out its a piece of cake! :-)
    I've also made it in a muffin pan, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes and the
    individual cakes look great, especially served with some pouring cream. I
    used one UK cake mix and 1/2 a pint of cream so the recipe is halved to make
    6 largish muffins.

    Cut into squares and flip it over onto the serving
    plate so that the custard is on top. (I'm assuming
    you sensibly leave it in the pan and serve it from
    the pan and don't try to turn it out of the pan
    like some not quite sane ;-) people are purported
    to have tried because that would be a recipe for
    disaster.)

  5. First cut can be messy, but you should be able to cut squares and get
    them out more or less neatly.

  6. Would one of you please, post the recipe to make it? Thanks in advance.

    I'd like to make it clear that this is Barb's recipe; she deserves all the
    credit for it.

    Rhubarb Custard Cake

    Two-layer yellow cake mix (plus whatever ingredients the box calls for)
    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 evenly 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 springs back when lightly touched.

    Cream, sugar, and rhubarb sink to bottom, forming a custard layer.
    Makes 1-18 (depending on how you cut it!!) dee-vine servings.

    I made it yesterday for my girlfriend to take into work today. The response
    has been overwhelmingly positive.
