MADE OVER RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE

A tasty rhubarb coffee cake that is just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast! The cake is reduced fat and sugar, plus adds wheat flour for whole grain goodness. The low-fat vanilla yogurt gives the cake its moist texture. It's a snap to put together and makes enough for a crowd. I often bring it for dessert to potluck picnics in the spring during rhubarb season.
