How to Make Buttermilk Rhubarb Bundt Cake With Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Make buttermilk: In a 4-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together 2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons white vinegar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour (or rice flour), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon allspice.
  4. Cut in 1 cup Crisco shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Add 1 cup granulated sugar (or 3/4 cup honey – do not use both). If using honey, stir it into the dry ingredients.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a few drops of food coloring (optional).
  7. Add the buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in 4 cups chopped rhubarb (if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid).
  9. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
  12. **Honey Cinnamon Sauce:**
  13. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, 1/4 cup honey, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 3 tablespoons evaporated milk.
  14. Microwave on 70% power for 2 minutes, stir, and microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute if needed, until melted and smooth.
  15. Serve warm cake with sauce or vanilla ice cream.
