Wash and roughly chop the rhubarb. Put in an ovenproof dish with the soft brown sugar and bake in a moderate oven 350F, 180C or Gas Mark4 for 20 minutes or until tender (JT note: I cooked it a lot longer than this to get it tender). Leave in the ovenproof dish and set aside to cool. Beat the butter in a bowl, gradually adding the caster sugar. Beat until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Beat in the grated lemon and orange rinds, and then the lemon juice. Beat the 5 yolks into the butter and sugar mixture one by one. Don't worry if the mixture curdles at this stage, it won't affect the end result. Sieve the flour and beat it in, and lastly add the milk. Whisk the egg whites until they are very stiff, With a metal spoon, fold the whisked whites quickly and thoroughly into the pudding mixture. Pour over the rhubarb in the ovenproof dish. Stand the dish in a roasting tin half-filled with hot water. Bake in a moderate oven as above for 40 to 45 minutes until the pudding is golden brown and firm to the touch.
