A delightful homemade bread that combines the tartness of fresh rhubarb with warm cinnamon sugar, featuring a beautifully swirled pattern.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup large diced rhubarb

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick baking spray and line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together 1/3 cup of sugar with ground cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1 cup of sugar in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.
  5. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl, then add the milk and vegetable oil, stirring until well mixed.
  6. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just moistened; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the diced rhubarb until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over it.
  9. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar on top.
  10. Swirl the cinnamon sugar gently through the layers of batter with an offset spatula.
  11. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding finely chopped nuts or a splash of vanilla extract. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for best results.
