Decadent Rhubarb Cinnamon Nut Cake

Ingredients

- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups rhubarb, diced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little vegetable oil or non-stick spray.

2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar and vegetable oil until well mixed. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporate Buttermilk and Baking Soda
Gently mix in the buttermilk. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt. Stir until everything is combined.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients and Rhubarb
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, folding carefully. Once the flour is fully incorporated, stir in the diced rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5. Prepare the Topping
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Mix thoroughly.

6. Assemble the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-nut topping over the batter.

7. Bake the Cake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

8. Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
