A real crowd-pleaser, this tender snack-like cake is chock-full of rhubarb and sprinkled with a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping. Everyone will be asking for the recipe…or seconds! —Maryls Haber, White, South Dakota

Cinnamon-Sugar Rhubarb Cake Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 12-16 Servings

30 40 70

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar, divided
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the shortening, brown sugar and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Stir in rhubarb.
Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm. Yield: 12-16 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

Yum! Had to sub fresh strawberries for 1/2 the rhubarb & added 1 c. chopped walnuts. Love the cin/sug. crust and the moistness of the cake. Also added a tsp. of cinnamon to flour mix as I love cinnamon.

This cake was amazing! My 9 year old son asked if we could have seconds before I even finished my first piece. Crispy cinnamon pieces on top and soft and gooey cake. YU

Made this cake for a Memorial Day gathering. It was delicious and everyone asked for seconds! It was easy to make, and is fairly low-calorie (for a cake!). Will definitely make this cake again.
