Bake a moist and flavorful quick bread using fresh rhubarb. This simple recipe yields a classic loaf perfect for spring baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb (about 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix only until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb pieces.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Toss the chopped rhubarb lightly in one tablespoon of flour before folding it into the batter. This helps prevent the rhubarb from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • For a glazed finish, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk, then drizzle over the cooled bread.
