Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8″x12″ baking pan, ensuring it’s well prepared for your delicious creation.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender cake texture.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps to ensure a smooth and uniform batter.
-
Sift the flour into a separate bowl to remove any lumps and aerate it for a lighter texture.
-
Gradually add the sifted flour to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated. Mix until smooth and well combined.
-
Stir in the baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and allspice, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. This adds delightful aromatic flavors to your cake.
-
Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb, being careful not to overmix. The juicy tartness of the rhubarb will add a burst of flavor and moisture to your cake.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.
-
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using) to make the topping. This sweet and crunchy layer will add a delightful contrast to the soft cake beneath.
-
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter in the pan, creating a tantalizing golden crust as it bakes.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of cinnamon and rhubarb will fill your kitchen as the cake bakes to perfection.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before serving.
-
Slice into generous portions and serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
