• 2 tablespoons lemon juice |

• 1/3 cup cornstarch |

• 3 cups all-purpose flour |
• 1 cup sugar |

• 1 teaspoon baking soda |

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk |
• 2 eggs |
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
• topping |
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine |
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour |

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened; remove from heat. 3. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, eggs and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture.

Lay foil on lower rack to catch any juicy fruit spillovers. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, or until cake is done. Cool cake in pan on rack. Cut rhubarb coffee cake into squares to serve. |
