Rhubarb cake

There are so few recipes for this vegauit I thought it would be good to put this here. One of my favorite ways to eat rhubarb. I prefer it when the rhubarb is a little older. Early spring it is pretty mild, later it will have more flavor. A nice combination of sweet and sour.

1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 t vanilla
1 egg
2 1/2 c. flour
1 t soda
1/2 t salt
1 c. buttermilk
2 c. chopped raw rhubarb

Mix all the ingredients except the rhubarb. Spoon 2/3 the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and spread. Sprinkle with the rhubarb. Spread (glob, dollop, place) the remaining batter on top of the rhubarb. Sprinkle with about 2 T cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350 for 40 -45 minutes.

oh yes Vegauit- something cooked like a fruit that is actually a vegetable. Rhubarb is the only one I know of. As opposed to fruitable: a fruit cooked like a vegetable- tomatoes, squash, peppers, and so on.
