Rhubarb Cake
Author Notes: This recipe has been in my family a long time. It comes from my Great-Grandmother Mildred Lohmann who had a gigantic rhubarb plant in her backyard. The tangy rhubarb perfectly offsets an otherwise fluffy and sweet coffeecake batter that is then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. —Gibson2011

Must be a serious typo in this recipe. I started making it to find the recipe called for 1 cup of baking soda and 1/2 c salt. Surely this is incorrect? I changed it to 1 t soda and 1/2 t salt you might want to do the same if attempting this recipe or you will end up with a very salty cake that will collapse.
