OT: Ping Dora ~ Rhubarb Cake

1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch chunks 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup margarine 1 cup sour milk, or buttermilk 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp soda 1 tsp vanilla 2 cups flour

Cream sugar and margarine. Add egg and salt. Stir in milk, soda, vanilla and flour. Add rhubarb.

Pour in 9 x 13 pan

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon

Bake 375 deg for 35 minutes.

Re. buttermilk. I find recipes always call for so little and then it gets wasted so now I freeze the balance in small containers. It works very well. This recipe is not the same without the sour/buttermilk. I also use buttermilk to soak chicken overnight if I am going to fry it. That make a difference too, it must be a chemical reaction or something.

Now all you need it next years rhubarb harvest lol
