Rhubarb Cake Bars

I don't know about you, but I'm not a huge fan of rhubarb. I mean, it's okay, but in a lot of recipes it is just a bit too tart for my taste.
So the other day my sister was trying to pawn some rhubarb off on me. I was iffy on whether I wanted to take it. She said, "Try this new recipe for Rhubarb Cake Bars, I think maybe you'll like it."
So I tried it. And it's good. It's just sweet enough to feel like a yummy dessert, and yet it actually doesn't have that much sugar in it, as far as cakes go.
I ended up heading home with a bag full of rhubarb, and a copy of the recipe. I told my sister that I'll pay her back in zucchini in a month or so!
So if you're a rhubarb lover, this will be a great cake for you.
And if you're a rhubarb hater, I still think you'll probably like this. So give it a try!
