For best results, use fresh, vibrant rhubarb. If rhubarb is particularly tart, you may want to increase the sugar in the cake batter slightly.
Ensure the butter for the cake is properly softened to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
When adding the flour mixture and milk, be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
The lemon sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving.
A sprinkle of powdered sugar on top of the cake adds a nice finishing touch.
