  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  cups          sugar -- white, brown or mix
   1      cup           butter
   1                    egg
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
   2      cups          unbleached flour
   1      teaspoon      baking soda
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   1      cup           milk -- OR
   1      cup           buttermilk -- plus a little more
   2      cups          rhubarb -- finely chopped
                        Topping:
     1/2  cup           sugar
   1      teaspoon      cinnamon
     1/2  cup           coconut -- flaked or shredded
                        chopped nuts -- optional

Preheat oven to 325x.  Grease a 9" x 12" baking pan.

Cream sugar, butter, egg and vanilla.  Mix in flour, baking soda, salt and
milk.  Fold in rhubarb.  Turn into prepared pan.  Bake for 1 hour.

Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of the cake.  

Note:  My original directions do not indicate when the topping gets sprinkled
on - before or after baking.  My guess is before.
