Ingredients

• 2.5 cups rhubarb stalks
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup gluten-free oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Wash and dice the rhubarb stalks into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix 1.25 cups of granulated sugar with the diced rhubarb. Let it sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and buttermilk, whisking until well combined.

Step 6

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the rhubarb and sugar mixture. Be sure to mix gently to not overwork the batter.

Step 8

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, brown sugar, and butter. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until it forms a crumbly topping.

Step 10

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
