Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and beaten egg until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and brown sugar, then cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
Distribute the crumb topping over the rhubarb filling in the baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, ideally warm with vanilla ice cream.
