Rhubarb Cake
Rhubarb may be an intimidatingly tart vegetable eaten on its own, but when its sharp flavor is tempered with the addition of butter and sugar, it makes excellent desserts such as the cake recipe below.

- 1½ cup thinly-sliced raw rhubarb
- 1½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup sour milk or cultured buttermilk
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour

- 1 tsp cinnamon
