Rhubarb Cake
Ingredients:
1/2 c  Margarine
1 1/2 c  Sugar, brown
1    Egg; beaten
1 ts Vanilla
1/8 ts Salt
1 c  Buttermilk
2 c  Flour
1 ts Baking soda
3 c  Rhubarb; finely sliced
1/2 c  Nuts; chopped
1/3 c  Sugar, brown
1/3 c  Sugar
1/2 ts CinnamonProcedure:
Slice the rhubarb into 1/4" slices. Cream the margarine and 1¼ cups brown sugar; add the egg, vanilla and salt; mix well. Add the buttermilk, flour and soda; mix well. Stir in the rhubarb. Pour the batter into a well-greased "x13" cake pan. Mix together 1/2 cup nuts, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; distribute this mixture evenly over the unbaked cake batter. Bake for about 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

I didn't have buttermilk or yoghurt so just used milk.  Also only had flaked almonds for the topping, but it is delish, well worth doing the topping, and add a touch extra cinnamon - YUM!  Also, mine took an hour to cook but my cake tin was only 8 inches - if you used a 9 or 10 inch it probably would only take the 45 minutes.  A lovely moist bubby cake, perfect warm with yoghurt or cream, or cold with a cup of tea!  There goes my diet for another day!

The better half in the house  :-\ reakoned the topping was a little to sweet for his taste buds, but I thought it was gorgeous!  However, I will be making it again over the weekend and will try it with less sugar and more spice!  :D
