Ingredients

  • Fresh Rhubarb – Adds tartness and moisture to the bread.
  • Brown Sugar – Provides sweetness and a caramel-like flavor.
  • All-Purpose Flour – Creates structure and a soft crumb.
  • Baking Powder – Helps the bread rise and become fluffy.
  • Baking Soda – Works with acidity for a tender texture.
  • Eggs – Binds ingredients and adds moisture.
  • Vegetable Oil – Keeps the bread moist and soft.
  • Vanilla Extract – Adds a warm, aromatic depth.
  • Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
  • Cinnamon – Adds a hint of spice for extra warmth.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Wash and chop the rhubarb into small pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped rhubarb carefully to avoid overmixing.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm rhubarb for the best texture.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing to maintain its structure.
  • Add chopped nuts or orange zest for extra flavor.
  • Store tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days.
