  There are two references to quantities of golden caster sugar in the list of ingredients and only one reference to using it in the recipe. Am I missing something?

  I think you are supposed to sprinkle the 3tbsp of sugar on the rhubarb before baking it. The 100g is for the cake mix.

  I made these last night. I used the 100g of golden caster sugar in with the rest of the dy ingredients, as I figured sugar was dry! They were ok. I thought they were a little dry and could have done with more sugar for my liking. Also the rhubarb could have done with being smaller, so as a tip to anyone that makes them, I would slice the rhubarb no more than a 5mm as it's just too big otherwise. When you oven bake the rhubarb it doesn't mush down, so smaller the better.

  I used the recipe straight from the magazine, and the 3tbsp are to be mixed with the rhubarb before putting in the oven and then the remaining 100g into the muffin mix. They could have done with more rhubarb for me.

  I made these muffins and they were delicious! After reading the above comments, I adapted the recipe as follows: I used 400g rhubarb, cooked with 4 tbsp sugar (instead of 300g rhubarb and 3tbsp sugar). Apart from that all other ingredients were the same. These muffins have been very popular with my friends and family. I shall definately make again with my adapted version.

  I thought that the amount of sugar in these seemed rather a lot so i reduced the amount with the rhubarb by 1 tbsp and the amount in the cake mix to 80g. They weren't quite as sweet as I was expecting but everyone liked them and ate them including my children.

  These worked really well. I didn't have castor sugar, so used brown sugar instead and I couldn't be bothered to bake the rhubarb first - still turned out beautifully.

  I only had about 250 gr. of rhubarb (thin red wine-rhubarb as we call it here). But in my fridge I found some leftovers of grilled pineapple with vannilla sugar. So I added 100 gr. of the pineapple and this turned out rather nicely. It would probably work well to add some small marcipan pices with the rhubarb � I might try that next time. But do not hesitate to add some other fruit to the recipe, apples will deffinetly work well... Since I live in Iceland where rhubarb grows easely I found it to be a nice surprice how well it worked with the pineapple from somwhere deep south...

  Made these yesterday, for today, and I have to say that they haven't kept well. They have both dried out and gone soggy (not an easy thing to do! *chuckle*) in that the muffin itself has dried out, yet where the rhubarb is, has gone soggy. Definitely one for making and eating on the same day! Maybe with a blob of creme fraiche for dessert. *grin*

  Great alternative to the usual muffin. TI made them for a buffet and they went down well. They didn't come out as sweet as I had hoped. I didn't find it went soggy but stayed moist. The muffin part did seem to be lacking a certain something.... maybe more sugar was needed?

  I followed the recipe to the letter--very unusual for me, I'm always changing something! The muffins tasted wonderful, but stuck in their cases. Very annoying!

  Made these first thing with rhubarb and added a chopped up eating apple to make up the weight. As per the tip above, I chopped the fruit up small. The only other changes were - instead of just milk, I used half milk half creme fraiche, to make a buttermilk type mixture to make the muffins lighter. Plus I added a touch of vanilla essence. I didn't bother with muffin cases, but greased and floured a muffin tin. They did not stick to tin and tasted gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Fab with hot coffee.

  I make these today and very nice too on their own and or with cream, however somewhat on the heavy side. I did add all spice and ginger for flavour along with more sugar.
