When your friend gives you rhubarb…

…you make  Lunar Rhubarb Cake! For best results, use real butter!

The topping is made up of butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. When it’s baking, it begins to look like the surface of the moon. But it tastes a whole lot better than that!

A bit of whipped cream  on top would do nicely, too.

 

Here’s the recipe:

Cream :

1/2 c. butter

1 1/2 c. sugar (I use a mixture of brown and white)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

In separate bowl, mix together:

2 c. flour (I prefer mostly whole wheat)

1 t. baking soda

Measure:

1 c. buttermilk (or milk w. 1 T. lemon juice added)

Gently, with mixer on low setting,  add flour mixture and milk alternately

Fold in 1 1/2 c. chopped rhubarb, with a bit of flour sprinkled over

Mix together  1/4 c. butter, 2 tsp cinnamon, and 1 c (or less) brown sugar. Drop evenly on top of batter.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for approx. 30-35 minutes.
