When the rhubarb comes up, I'm the first one in our household to get at it. I treat my family to this cake every spring.

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon orange-flavored breakfast drink mix, optional
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
TOPPING:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

In a bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and orange drink if desired; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour milk. Fold in rhubarb.
Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. For topping, combine sugar and cinnamon; stir in coconut and nuts. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes.

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.

This cake was very moist and yummy. I did not add the orange drink mix and it was still great!
