Easy Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 egg egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.25 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until just combined.
4. Gently toss the rhubarb with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat, then fold it into the cake batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
5. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, 1/4 cup of butter, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is beautifully golden, approximately 45 minutes.
7. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful rhubarb cake!
