This is a really good coffee cake type of cake, not sure it is what you want but it is worth trying. Another of my favs.
Lunar Rhubarb Cake
This is from Canadian Living Magazine about 20 years ago
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups (or a bit more) rhubarb, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp flour
Cream butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift together the flour, soda and salt. Add alternately to creamed mixture with the buttermilk. Make 3 dry and 2 liquid additions. Toss rhubarb with the 1 tbsp flour and add to mixture. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan.
Topping:
¼ cup butter
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup brown sugar
Mix together and sprinkle on top of the batter. When it bakes, some of the topping will sink in and make craters- like on the moon I guess.
Bake at 350* for 45 minutes.
