Ingredients
  

  • 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 9x5-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.
