Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
½ cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup flaked coconut
½ cup finely chopped almonds
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a small bowl, mix chopped rhubarb with 1/2 cup sugar; set aside. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Fold in the rhubarb mixture. Stir in the coconut and chopped almonds. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • To make streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons flour and 4 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on top of cake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
