Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Fresh rhubarb, diced
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before serving.
Slice and enjoy as is, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence!
