Preparation

Combine 3/4 cup (180 mL) of the sugar and corn starch in medium saucepan. Stir in rhubarb. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cool; set aside.

Stir together milk and vinegar; set aside. Combine flour and remaining 3/4 cup (180 mL) sugar. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly; set aside 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the mixture. To remainder add baking powder, baking soda and nuts.

Combine egg and milk mixture. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until moistened. Spread two-thirds of the batter over bottom and part-way up side of a buttered 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan. Spoon rhubarb filling over batter. Drop remaining batter by small spoonfuls over filling; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
