• 2 Eggs
• 1 cups Buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Chopped rhubarb
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
