Strawberry-Rhubarb Flip Cake
"Every yr I enjoy an excess of rhubarb from my best friend's (& her neighbor's) garden & Taste of Home has become my go-to source of new recipes to try using my rhubarb bounty. I always begin my summer routine by making 3 qts of strawberry-rhubarb ice cream sauce & then look around for other recipes. My main issue has been that most other recipes don't use enough volume of rhubarb to be helpful, but this recipe from TOH is a rare exception. It was originally published in the April-May 2015 issue of Simple & Delicious & credit was given to Charlene Schwartz of Maple Plain, MN. ENJOY! (Edited to Add - Pls read my note at the end of the Prep Steps)"

EDITOR NOTE: "If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen. Then thaw completely & drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out."
NOTE FROM ME: I have made this recipe now & have 2 suggestions. I found the 9x13 baking dish not lrg enough for the volume of ingredients, so either halve the recipe, have 2 pans ready for use or select an extra lrg (& deep) baking dish of some sort. The latter was my choice. I also needed the full amt of time suggested (45 min) & it tested done w/a wooden skewer, but was slightly wet in the center. That bit of "creaminess" worked ok for me, but you may wish a longer cook time.
