Rhubarb Coffee Cake with Crunchy Maple Oatmeal Topping

This simple very moist cake is perfect to serve alongside coffee or as a brunch dessert. If you prefer a nut-free cake, substitute oats for the walnuts. Try amber maple syrup in baking for a more pronounced maple flavour. Drizzle each serving with more maple syrup if desired.
