Rhubarb Cake

Base:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 beaten egg

Mix in a medium bowl except egg. Once everything else is well blended, add the egg - and it needs to be beaten first or it just never quite mixes in. Reserve 1 cup. Press the remainder into the bottom of a well greased 9x12 pan.

Filling:
1.5 cups of sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup melted butter

Mix in order and spread on base.

Topping:
Reserved mixture from base
1 cup brown sugar (tho in a pinch I have used white - not quite as good, but ok)
3 tablespoons of cinnamon

Mix well and sprinkle on filling. Bake everything at 350 for 45 - 60 minutes.
