Take advantage of rhubarb's short season, and surprise your family with this moist and tender coffee cake. There's a nice balance of tart and sweet in each bite. —Cindy Ashley, Gregory, Michigan

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 9 Servings

30 25 55

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.

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.

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 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?

We loved It---great for Easter Brunch--I had no problem with it rising. Will make again~~one of my Rhubarb favorites now.

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?
