  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 12 slices) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups diced rhubarb
  • ½ cup white sugar (topping)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 5×9-inch loaf pan.
  2. Add brown sugar, oil, egg, buttermilk, flour, baking soda, salt, and diced rhubarb to a large bowl one at a time, stirring after each addition, until the batter is just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  4. Mix white sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl until the mixture is crumbly.
  5. Lightly press the topping over the batter in an even layer.
  6. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the loaf cool in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter. Stir just until each ingredient is combined to keep the bread tender.
  • Fresh or frozen rhubarb both work. If using frozen, thaw and drain it first.
  • Store the bread wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • You can freeze the loaf for up to 2 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag.
  • Check the bread at the 50-minute mark since oven temperatures can vary.
