Rhubarb Cake
This is an old recipe from my Mom’s cookbook. According to the notes: “serve warm with a scoop of ice-cream and listen to the accolades!”
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk (see note)
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups finely chopped rhubarb
Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
- With electric mixer, cream brown sugar and butter. Add eggs and beat well.
- Add buttermilk, flour, baking soda and salt, and mix well.
- Stir in vanilla and rhubarb.
- Pour batter into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan.
- Topping: combine brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.
Notes
To make sour milk, combine 1 cup milk with 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for a few minutes (milk will curdle).
