• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/3 cup cornstarch

• .

• Cake:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Topping:

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine

Directions

In a large saucepan combine rhubarb, strawberries and lemon

Cover and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into strawberry rhubarb mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened; remove from heat.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat together buttermilk, eggs and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture. Spread half of the batter evenly into a greased 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Carefully spread filling over the batter. Drop remaining batter evenly over filling with a tablespoon.

Directions for Topping

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in flour and sugar until mixture is crumbly then sprinkle over batter. Lay foil on lower rack to catch any juicy fruit spillovers. Bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, or until cake is done. Cool cake in pan on rack. Cut rhubarb coffee cake into squares to serve.
