Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened

Rhubarb Filling
  • 2 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Topping

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted

Method
 

Prepare the Cake Batter
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the sour cream, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Prepare the Rhubarb Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and cornstarch. Toss to coat the rhubarb evenly.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Layer the rhubarb mixture on top.
  2. Spread the remaining cake batter over the rhubarb filling.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it over the cake.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
