Rhubarb cake

I have located this recipe on rhubarb cake in the free magazine "Sæson" (issue April 2016), which has focos on using more fruit and vegetable in your food.

The cake quiet interesting, when reading the recipe, however the final result is more of a average, not so interesting cake. And it takes quiet so more time to make this cake, as it contains two different dough as well as the rhubarb compote.
