Nooooooooooooooo... don't throw it out! Take it. Warn the hostess that it
might be a little sweet if you want (but against rhubarb chances are it will
be fine). If it really bothers you take a back up dessert. Is your cake
the only dessert for the function? It'll be fine. Don't sweat it.
Ummm... is the cake round or square? If it's square you could easily trim
off a sliver down one side or if round, slice off a bit of the top or bottom
just as you would to level it... Just a thought.
The answer to your question is no - I have not doubled the amount of sugar
called for but I have one and one-halfed it because I didn't believe the
amount was correct (and 1 1/2 was PERFECT!).
