Luscious Rhubarb Sponge Dessert

---

I am always on the lookout for rhubarb recipes as it's plentiful in my garden. So one day, upon waiting in the doctor's office, i stumbled upon this one in a magazine. Without having anything to write on, i promply stood up, ripped off a length of paper towel and borrowed one of the doctor's pens to jot it down. Both the doctor and i agreed to make this recipe for our family.
