How to Make Finney Family Rhubarb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 4 cups chopped rhubarb.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup rolled oats, ¼ cup chopped pecans (optional), and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
