Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch fluted tube pan thoroughly. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Pour this mixture into the prepared pan, tilting and tapping to coat the inside evenly. Discard any excess. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a large measuring cup, stir together the milk and lemon juice. Let it stand until the milk curdles slightly. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a large bowl, cream together 1 1/2 cups of white sugar and the shortening using an electric mixer until smooth and light. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. (7 minutes)

05

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the curdled milk, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Pour half of the batter into the prepared tube pan. In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and 1/3 cup of white sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the pan. (8 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the remaining batter over the nut mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (50 minutes)

08

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter. (10 minutes)

09

Step

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of white sugar with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the warm cake. Serve and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of shortening.
If you don't have a fluted tube pan, a regular cake pan will work. Adjust baking time as needed.
Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts.
The cake is best served warm or at room temperature.

    My rhubarb was very tart, so I added a bit more sugar to the batter.
