This Rhubarb Nut Coffee Cake is super tender, with tart little bites of rhubarb contrasting with a sweet sugary crunchy topping with chopped nuts.

Ingredients

for the cake:

½ c. unsalted butter
1.5 c. sugar
1 large egg
1 c. buttermilk
2.5 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 c. cut rhubarb about 1/2″ pieces
1 c. packed brown sugar
½ c. chopped nuts whatever kind you prefer (I like to use pecans)

for the creamy buttery yum:

½ c. unsalted butter
1 c. sugar
½ c. cream
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Spray a 9"×13" pan with cooking spray and set aside.
For the cake, cream together butter and sugar, then beat in egg. Stir in buttermilk. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, mixing gently until combined. Stir in vanilla. Fold in the rhubarb and pour into your prepared pan, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle with all of the brown sugar and then the nuts, pressing the nuts into the cake a bit with the back of a spoon. Bake for about 55 minutes, or until center of cake has firmed up. Remove from oven.
Place all of the creamy buttery yum ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Stir for 1 minute to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat. Pour the warm yum evenly over the warm cake and let it soak in. Sometimes I poke small holes into the top outside perimeter of the cake to allow the yum to soak in better. Try to not let a big amount of the yum to pool onto the center of the cake, or that part of the cake will get overly saturated. Sometimes I don't use all of the yum. Up to you!
