Katukivikakku - Finnish Gobble Stone Cake

1 1/2 cups sugar (3.5dl)
3 eggs

2 cups flour (5 dl)
4 tsp baking powder
2 sticks butter 200g
1.5 lb rhubarb 6-10 sticks
cinnamon and sugar

Melt the butter and add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter
and preheat the oven 375F (175C) Cut rhubarb in a 1/4" (1cm) long
pieces.  Whip the eggs and sugar until nearly white. Add most of
the flower and blend it in. Mix rest of the flower with baking
powder. Add the melted butter and mix it in. Cover a 18" x 12" oven
roasting pan with baking parchment. Spread rhubarb over the top
and sprinkle with some cinnamon and sugar. Bake 10-20 minutes.

The same recipe can be used for making an apple cake. Use in that
case baking apples like Gravensteiner. Also European blue berries
work well (the US kind are too bland for this). Also a mix half
sour and half sweet cherries should work well.
