I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but this cake was still really good. The almond flavor really shines through.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

This almond rhubarb coffee cake was a hit! The cake was moist and flavorful, with a perfect crumb. The rhubarb added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the cake. I'll definitely be making this again.
