Rhubarb Cake

Found on line:

I am going to try this in 2 loaf pans instead of a 9x13.  I think a bundt pan might work too.  If you use a bundt pan it will probably take a little longer to bake.  Be sure to insert a skewer to test for doneness.  The pick should come out clean.  This might even be good as a muffin.   Happy baking, nothing says spring like rhubarb!

Original recipe makes 1 - 9 x 13 inch cake
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions

In a large bowl, cream together butter or margarine and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.
In another bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, soda, and salt. Add sifted ingredients alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture.
