Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the cake batter.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb pieces.
- To make the streusel, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in the cold butter using your fingertips or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, dust the cake with powdered sugar just before serving. Rhubarb stalks can vary greatly in tartness; adjust the sugar in the batter slightly if your rhubarb is exceptionally sour.
