Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Fold in the diced rhubarb and optional chopped nuts (if using). Ensure the rhubarb is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the top of the batter for a crisp and caramelized topping.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve slices of My Sister's Rhubarb Bread on its own, or with a slather of butter or cream cheese. Enjoy!
