I know lots of people have p[layed around with barb's rhubarb custard
cake, using different fruit. I'm wondering what has worked - I'm having
one heck of a time trying to get rhubarb around herre. Got my hands no
it twice this year; once it went into a pie and the other into the
cake, but I can't wait a whoe year to bake this awespome cake again!
What other fruit varieties have other people made successfully?

Have you tried the frozen food section? I think it's in bags.

I've used tinned, it's not quite as good and is a little sweeter, I've also
used cherries (put them in the bottom as I'm not sure if they'd sink. Lynn
used blueberries and said they didn't sink but were good)
Raspberries should be nice if a little soft.

Where is the recipe for this cake, I'd like to try it myself??

Google is your friend.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

Go ahead, ignore it. Save it for next Spring. I wouldn't make it with
frozen fruit. I think it (the fruit) would be too wet.

Now, if I could only figure out how to make it without rhubarb <G>.
Rhubarb is Barb's beets to me.

At least now I have an excuse.

=============================

Try substituting a package of cinnamon red hot candies for about 1/2 t0
1 cup of the sugar,
This makes the cake prettier as rubarb is not exactly the most
appetizing LOOKING fruit when cookes.
Mesides it tastes really good!

I've used fresh pineapple (use half a good size one).
I've used strawberries also.

I like the cake but my family is indifferent to its charms. That means
that I end up eating the whole thing which is not good for my
waistline.

Good luck,

Frozen mixed berries worked well (I thawed then drained much of the
juice)....
