Rhubarb Cake



This is my grandmother's rhubarb cake.

It's delicious.

Of course, I try to make it healthier -- and it still tastes great.

Rhubarb Cake - Grandma

1 1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 C butter {I do 1/4 C butter, 1/4 C applesauce}
1 egg
1 C milk + 1 T vinegar (allow to set for 5 minutes)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 C whole wheat flour
1 C white wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 C rhubarb, sliced
1/8 C sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Cream together brown sugar and butter/applesauce.  Add egg and mix well.  Then, add in the sour milk and vanilla.

Mix the flours, baking soda and salt together and add to the creamed mixture.

Stir in rhubarb.

Pour into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish.  Sprinkle the topping with cinnamon and sugar.

Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes until the center of the cake is set.

Enjoy!

    This looks tasty too! I have two cups of rhubarb left, so this will be perfect. Thanks!

    This looks delicious! I really want to take advantage of rhubarb season. This is something I could make and freeze too!

    I wish I could find rhubarb around here...maybe I should try to grow some of my own! That cake sounds delicious....and I always love strawberry rhubarb cobbler/pie!

    Hmmm, I have never made anything with rhubarb. I have been eyeing it at the farmer's market lately. I may have to give this a try!

    When is the best time to pick rhubarb? I have a plant, but have never used it as I'm not terribly fond of rhubarb, but this cake sounds good.
