A rich vanilla sauce is served with this tender cake from Biena Schlabach of Millersburg, Ohio. The women at church made it for my 84th birthday, she says.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb
streusel topping:
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
vanilla sauce:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating just until moistened. Fold in the rhubarb. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking dish.
2. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3. For sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add sugar and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Serve with cake. Yield: 9 servings (1-1/4 cups sauce).
