Ingredients

Layer 1 (shortbread crust)

2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered (confectioner's) sugar
1 cup softened butter

Layer two (rhubarb custard)

4 eggs
2 cups granulated (white) sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups diced rhubarb

Layer three (topping)

8 ounces Cool Whip

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine flour (2 cups), powdered sugar and softened butter until a soft dough forms; spread into the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, beat eggs, white sugar, flour (1/2 cup), and salt until well blended; stir in diced rhubarb.
Pour over baked crust. Return to oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Let rhubarb cake cool completely. Top with Cool Whip.
Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Our variety of rhubarb is more green in color; your rhubarb dream cake may be more red in color.
1 cup butter = 2 sticks
Margarine can be substituted for butter. Let soften first.
Let the rhubarb custard cake cool completely before topping with Cool Whip.
If you aren't a fan of whipped topping, you can leave out that layer, and these rhubarb custard bars will be just as delicious.
Store rhubarb dream dessert in the refrigerator.
