Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and granulated sugar. Stir well to coat the rhubarb evenly and set aside for a few minutes while preparing the batter.

Add the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the rhubarb and sugar mixture. Mix until combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle the top of the batter with cinnamon sugar for added sweetness and texture.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
