Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360F. Grease a 9x9 square baking pan and line with parchment paper 'sling' if you'd like to be able to lift the coffee cake out for easy slicing.
- First up, make the streusel topping. Mix the butter with the sugar, flour, and vanilla powder. Use your fingers to rub the chunks of butter into the flour. Keep at it until you reach an even crumbly consistency. Set aside. Note: you can do this even faster in your food processor: pulse/process until you get your desired consistency.
- For the cake, whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl to combine. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. I do this in my stand mixer, but you can do it with electric beaters if you prefer.
- Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything incorporated.
- With the mixer on low, add 1/2 of the flour mixture. When that has almost been incorporated, add the buttermilk. When that's incorporated, add the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape down the bowl so that everything is well combined.
- Fold in the rhubarb (the batter will be very thick) and turn into your prepared pan. Spread out evenly, and then top with the streusel mixture.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven until golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it, about 40 minutes.
- Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
