1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup hot water

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen rhubarb for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely before using.
  • Cut the rhubarb into small pieces so that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb. It should be tender but still have a bit of a bite to it.
  • Use a good quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is preferred so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan. You may have extra batter which you can pour into a muffin tin for mini rhubarb cakes.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. You can dust it with powdered sugar or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream.
