Serve it simply or with a dollop of whipped cream for a comforting, no-fuss indulgence.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with half the sugar (1/2 cup) and set aside for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the remaining half cup of sugar and the softened butter until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, starting and ending with the flour mix. Stir gently after each addition until just combined.
Fold the sugared rhubarb into the batter gently until distributed evenly.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
