Combine the ingredients for the streusel topping and set aside.1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/4 cup quick oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3 tbsp melted butter
Apple Cinnamon Rhubarb Cake:
Prepare a 9 x 13 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
Chop the rhubarb into approximately 1/2 inch pieces. Set aside.2 cups chopped rhubarb
In a bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp cinnamon
Now using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment mix together the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth.1/2 cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar (white sugar)
Add the eggs to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.2 large eggs
In a separate bowl combine the yogurt, applesauce and vanilla.1 1/2 cups full fat yogurt or sour cream, 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 tbsp vanilla extract
To the butter mixture in the stand mixer, add the flour mixture, alternating with the yogurt mixture. Combine.
Stir in the chopped rhubarb.
Pour the batter into the parchment paper lined baking pan.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the top of the cake batter. You don't have to cover the whole top, I just like to sprinkle it as best I can.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into it.
