Moist Rhubarb Coffeecake
An amazingly moist and tasty rhubarb cake. The applesauce and yogurt really made the cake super moist and delicious. Considering it's a butter or oil free cake, when I had my first piece, I realized that you really didn't need any butter or oil. All the ingredients were just perfectly balanced, the cake was absolutely a winner!
