Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 2 cups Fresh rhubarb, diced
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the diced rhubarb into the batter using a spatula. Be sure the rhubarb is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly topping.

Step 9

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar streusel evenly over the cake batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
