Directions:
Melt first butter in a 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Add brown sugar and water or orange juice and place in a 375º oven until sugar is melted. Place enough rhubarb over mixture to completely cover bottom of pan.

Meanwhile, cream other butter or butter shortening mixture until very soft. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition until mixture is light and fluffy. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and add alternately with milk to the creamed mixture. Add vanilla and beat until well mixed. Pour this batter over rhubarb in pan and bake in a 375º oven 45-55 min.

Allow cake to stand for 10 min on a cake rack before unmolding. Unmold by inverting cake pan and waiting for 3 minutes before lifting pan so that the fruit will have a chance to settle on the cake.
