4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of water evenly over the rhubarb.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
6. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
