l made this years ago and when l went to find the recipe l couldn't find it lt had a base and then you put the rhubarb topping on top and it had spices in it as well sorry for being vague but it was a while since l made it l can still remember the picture it was in a NZ Women's Weekly when she did a cooking section in there Thanks
I have quite a few of her recipe books so will have a look for you...

Griffo4, I think this what you are looking for.
Rhubarb Spicetrail Shortcake
Base:
125 g butter 1/2 c castor sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 c SR flour
Topping:
1/4 c flour 2 c castor sugar ( sounds like a lot of sugar ) 1 t mixed spice 2 eggs 4 sticks rhubarb, finely chopped
For the base, cream butter and sugar well, beat in egg and flour. Press into a baking paper lined pan approx 20 x 33 cm. Cover with topping and bake at 180C for 50-60 mins until firm and set.
Topping:
Combine flour, sugar, spice and eggs, then stir in rhubarb.
Dust shortcake with icing sugar to serve. Any fruit can be used instead of rhubarb.

I'm pretty sure I've got it somewhere, will have a look as soon as I can. Think it's called Rhubarb Spice Trail Cake, or something like that.

Oh there you go...that's the one I've got. It can be made in a processor too.

I made this last week but mine was dry and not very nice. I think it needed WAY more rhubarb - 4 stalks is a very vague description.Flavours are nice otherwise. Hope yours turns out great.

I find Jo's recipes have a lot of sugar however rhubarb can be very sour. I will give it a go.

I made this last night using extra rhubarb and a few strawberries in the topping and only 1 cup of sugar. That quantity of sugar was more than enough for my taste.

I think she was promoting / contracted to Chelsea Sugar when all those recipes with a huge amount of sugar were all the go
