For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. If you don't have rhubarb, you can substitute with other tart fruits like cranberries or chopped green apples. A dusting of powdered sugar after cooling adds an elegant touch. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
