Fresh rhubarb is baked with spices that truly compliment this unique springtime plant. Ginger Root Powder, True Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom Seed Powder, and a hint of almond come together to give a sweetness to the tangy rhubarb. This is a very moist cake, and the fresh baked rhubarb makes it a bit sticky, but it is truly a delicious springtime treat that is a must try!
