Ingredients

Cake

  • ½ C Shortening (or other fat)
  • 1 ½ C brown sugar (I prefer dark)

  • 2 C flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 C finely chopped rhubarb

Topping

  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ C granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°

Topping

  • Mix the cinnamon and sugar together

Cake

  • In a medium bowls, combine the brown sugar, egg, vanilla, milk, and shortening.
  • In separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and soda. Then add rhubarb. Combine both mixtures together.
  • Pour into a prepared 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture
  • Bake 35 - 40 minutes

Notes

*I've seen sour milk made a couple different ways.  Either by using 1 full cup of milk then adding the vinegar or, adding the vinegar first and then adding enough milk to make the total liquid equal one cup.
