Default Barb's Rhubarb Custard Cake....SOS!

Well, I was invited to Easter Dinner today (they are Eastern Orthodox
Christian) and I offered to bring dessert.

I heard they love rhubarb, so I decided to Google for Barb's Rhubarb custard
cake recipe.

I found it yesterday morning, have been corresponding with her about it, and
I made it this morning.

While it was in the oven, I decided to Google RFC and read the reviews of
this cake. I remembered they were raves, and I read a few yesterday when I
found the recipe.

Well, for some reason, this morning when I did my search, the first recipe
that came up was the one where Barb stated she originally posted an
incorrect amount of sugar, it was really 1 cup of sugar, not two.

Naturally, the first one I found yesterday, and therefore, the one I printed
out to make this morning, called for TWO CUPS of sugar. Now, I have to say,
as I was making this cake, I looked at one cup of sugar and it seemed like
enough, but then again, what do I know? I've never cooked rhubarb before, so
instead of following my instinct, I followed the recipe.

Of course, every single recipe I pulled up this morning (once the damn thing
was in the oven) called for 1 cup sugar. And I can't find the one with 2
cups online, just to prove I'm not imagining things.

Anyway, there's nothing to be done now, I really wish I had noticed two
different recipes yesterday, but the bottom line is:

Has anyone made this thing with 2 cups of sugar? And how was it if you did?

Or should I just dump this in the garbage and run over to the market and
pick up a Mrs Smiths pie and call it a day?

So much for "tried and true".
I shoulda made the f%$&ing pie recipe from Everyday Food.
