Rhubarb Buckle with Ginger Crumble

This recipe is adapted from :
Rustic Fruit Desserts by Cory Schreiber & Julie Richardson
I discovered this recipe on a blog that I follow: Food52

Typically a Buckle is baked in a Casserole Dish. I like the fact that this one is made in a Cake Pan.
I love anything that is "Rustic" and this is a Rustic Dessert.
