3) Toss the rhubarb with 1 table spoon flour and stir into the batter mixture.

4) Spoon the batter into a 9 x 13 " pan / cake tin (I used a tray bake tin as that's all I had) Smooth the surface.

5) Blend the remaining butter, cinnamon and brown sugar and sprinkle over the top of batter mixture evenly.
