How to Make Rhubarb Bears

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
