Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced fresh or frozen rhubarb
  • 1/4 cup plus 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine rhubarb and 1/4 cup sugar; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and remaining sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Fold in rhubarb.
  • Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter.
  • Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 9 servings.

I made this 2 times and found that I had to bake much longer then 30min, more like 45 min. I has been a hit at my house, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream really hits the spot!

I made the Rhubarb-Buttermilk coffee cake for a luncheon and everyone commented on how good it was. I will be making this recipe again!

I already made it twice--1st time it looked done but it was still very solid--not cake like. Thought it was old baking powder, so made it again on Fri.-same thing. Baked it according to directions & toothpick came out clean. Not sure I want to try it again & bake it alot longer or what. Any suggestions?

I made this cake twice and each time it did not rise and was very heavy. It does not look anything like the picture. Is the recipe correct?
