This is my Favourite Rhubarb Bread Recipe! Fresh rhubarb mixed into a sweet vanilla cake base makes the most delicious bread! Or is it cake? Yum.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk (see tips)
  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb (about 3 stalks)
  • sugar for the topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Prepare a 1 lb or 1.25 lb loaf pan: grease with butter or line with parchment paper
  3. Chop about 3 stalks of rhubarb, the total should be 2 cups. Set aside.
  4. Using a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, and mix well.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  7. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, to the butter mixture. Combine.
  8. Stir in the chopped rhubarb.
  9. Add the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing out the top.
  10. Sprinkle the top with sugar if you want (you really should add it!).
  11. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean. The top of the bread should also be golden brown.
  12. Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
