have made rhubarb cake for family and friends now and the verdict has been really gr8! I love it warm from the oven with either good quality vanilla ice cream or a good spoon of clotted cream! Am going to try crushed hazelnuts in crumble mixture next time.
Have you tried making rhubarb and raisin/sultana crumble? its lovely.

Lovely recipe, thanks…only I found it needed more like 1 hour 10 minutes in fan oven at 170C. Maybe cos the rhubarb was very juicy? Delicious anyway.
