Rhubarb Cake

I made this recipe on the weekend to bring to an end of summer BBQ....so sad that summer is coming to an end.

Rhubarb Cake

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups rhubarb (chopped)
1 tbs all purpose flour

1/4 cup butter
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar, beat in egg and vanilla.

In another bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, soda, and salt.  Add sifted ingredients alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture.

Toss rhubarb with 1 tbs flour, and stir into batter.  Spoon butter in to a greased and floured 9x13 pan, and smooth the surface.

Blend together 1/4 cup butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.  Sprinkle evenly over the batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
