Cakes baked with twice as much sugar as called for will typically fall.
The structure fails.

I haven't baked either way.

I didn't suggest that. If it didn't fall, it should be fine. Rhubarb is
very tart and would offset the sweetness.

'tis a pity!

Your friends will miss the best part...your cake.

Now, maybe you can unknot your drawers!

Don't cakes with a lot of sugar usually also have a lot of egg?

Of course as a courtesy the OP could have printed out the recipe they used.
But of course they did not...so I really wonder what sort of "help" they
expect to receive?

She apparently expected everyone on r.f.c. to have memorized Barb's recipe.

I know. Then the OP is lashing out at everyone because no "help" is
forthcoming, they have to set themselves up as a "victim".

Instead of "defusing" the sitch by saying something like "Hey, I'm sorry,
I've been tensed up" or some such this person will simply bail on the whole
thread and in a short time will start up the same behavior anew...stomping
their feet and holding their breath all the while no doubt.

At least it's nice to know that in this day and age when a "pound" can of
coffee is twelve ounces and the Plaza Hotel is being turned into condos that
some things *never* change :-)

LOL! The twelve ounce "pound" I can deal with; Sheryl's constancy I can
deal with; the demise of the Plaza as one of the grandest hotels is a huge
hurt and disappointment! :-(
