Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1.5 cups fresh rhubarb, diced
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the sugar mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced rhubarb and walnuts, if using, until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
