  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. Combine the 1 tbsp cinnamon and 1/3 cup sugar, and set aside.
  4. Using a mixer cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs and mix well.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  7. In a separate measuring cup stir together the buttermilk and vanilla.
  8. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, to the butter mixture. Combine.
  9. Stir in the chopped strawberries and rhubarb.
  10. Add 1/2 of the batter to the loaf pan, then sprinkle on 1/2 of the cinnamon/sugar mix. Then using a fork, stir it a little into the batter.
  11. Add the rest of the batter and sprinkle on the rest of the cinnamon/sugar mix. Stir again, just a little.
  12. Bake for ~ 60 – 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
