I use just about any fruit or fruit combo in it...you need about 4 cups
of fruit.
I add 1 cup sugar and 2 cups whipping cream (as I like
custardy).
I don't think frozen rhubarb would be a problem, (that is if
it is not 1 big solid lump of 4 cups of rhubarb)as long as you can
sprinkle it around the cake pan, it should work ok.

My last version was a strawberry manderin orange cake. It vanished pretty quick at Canadian
Thanksgiving supper.
