Rhubarb Cake

Only those with the very finest of taste buds can taste the Rhubarb and dislike this cake. I made this once when my brother came over and he has a definite dislike for Rhubarb, after the second piece I fessed up and was impressed.
Topping: make first and refrigerate until needed.
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/4 C. margarine
1 tsp cinnamon
Mix until crumbly

2 c. flour

1 tsp vanilla
Cream together sugar and margarine. Add rhubarb, egg and beat until smooth. Add buttermilk and vanilla. combine flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture, fold in rhubarb. Pour into greased, well floured 9x13 pan. Sprinkle topping over cake batter. Bake 35-45 minutes at 350 degrees.
