Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Stir together the condensed milk, boiling water, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and heat until the butter has melted. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl, and pour the milk mixture over the bread cubes. Let the bread sit to soak up the liquid; do not stir.
- Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl until frothy, and add the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture again, and stir in the rhubarb. Gently and lightly stir the rhubarb mixture together with the soaked bread, and scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place filled baking dish on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread pudding comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, sour cream, sugar, baking soda and salt blending well.
- Add in flour a little bit at a time.
- Add in rhubarb. Blend well.
- Place batter in a greased or parchment lined 9 x 13 cake pan or two loaf pans.
- In a separate bowl, add crumble ingredients and blend well.
- Drop dollops of cinnamon mixture with your fingers on the top of the batter which will spread out a bit and create crispy pockets of sweet cinnamon goodness.
- Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
- NOTES: If you are using frozen rhubarb, it will be a little more moist. This cake also freezes well. Enjoy !
Tips:
- For a crispier topping, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup and then filling it with milk.
- To prevent the pudding from curdling, make sure the milk and eggs are at room temperature before whisking them together.
- Bake the pudding cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
- Serve the pudding cake warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
