You have to make this cake from The Rhubarb Compendium if only to smell the amazing aroma of apples and cinnamon that will drift from your camp oven. This is another throw it all in the mixing bowl and stir type of recipe, chopping the rhubarb is the hardest part of the process. The thick batter bakes into a moist, sweet coffee type cake with a sugary crust. Bake it in your 12 inch oven, lined with parchment if you can. Mine baked in 30 minutes with 12 coals in a ring around the bottom and 24 on top. If you can't find fresh rhubarb I'm sure you could use frozen, either way, this scrumptious cake won't let you down.
