Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups sugar -- white, brown or mix
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk -- OR
1 cup buttermilk -- plus a little more
2 cups rhubarb -- finely chopped
Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut -- flaked or shredded
chopped nuts -- optional

Preheat oven to 325x. Grease a 9" x 12" baking pan.

Cream sugar, butter, egg and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, salt and
milk. Fold in rhubarb. Turn into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour.

Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of the cake.

Note: My original directions do not indicate when the topping gets sprinkled
on - before or after baking. My guess is before.
