Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb and nuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a sweeter twist, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter.
- If rhubarb is not available, substitute it with chopped strawberries or apples for a different flavor profile.
