Ginger Crumb Topping
1/3 cup sugar (2 1/4 oz.)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (1 1/4 oz.)
1/4 cup finely chopped candied ginger (1 oz.)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cake
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (8 3/4 oz.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon dried ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (6 oz.)
1 cup sugar (7 oz.)
2 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 lb rhubarb, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 c. or 10 oz. prepped)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0; butter a 9-inch round baking pan.
2
Make the crumb topping: mix together the sugar, flour, and candied ginger in a bowl; stir in the melted butter; put the crumb mixture in the freezer while you mix the cake batter (this chills the crumb so it will not immediately melt into the cake when baked).
3
Make the cake: whisk the flour, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
4
Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on med-high speed until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
5
Add in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
6
Stir in the flour mixture in three additions alternating with the buttermilk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
7
Gently fold in the rhubarb.
8
Spread the batter into the prepared pan, then sprinkle the ginger crumb over the cake.
9
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm on top.
10
Store--wrapped in plastic wrap, the cake will keep at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
