Sieve the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl.
In a measuring jug or small bowl whisk the egg and add the remaining brown sugar, the buttermilk, oil and ginger, and mix well.
Whisk in the dry ingredients until combined to form a liquid batter.
Pour the mixture over the rhubarb in the pan.
