the secret's out- Rhubarb torte recipe

Here's a photo for our Canadian Arctic classmate who isn't seeing blooms yet:)

So in the spring this is an awesome dessert. It's from my mom's mom in Wisconsin and I believe it's Swedish. Rich but tart too.

My printed out copy is probably 30 years old. I can barely read it, and people have been asking for the recipe, so now's a good time to type it up. Find some rhubarb and get cooking!
