I didn't have butter milk so I used thick fat-free yogurt instead and it was delicious

This is yummy ! I "inherited" a rhubarb patch with our old farmhouse, and figured I needed to try something with it. My hubby doesn't eat desserts, so I was looking for a smaller cake. This one is terrific - easy to make, tastes fantastic, and just the right size. I used the buttermilk powder for mine- worked perfectly.
