Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Can be replaced with vegan butter for a dairy-free option.)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Use coconut sugar for a less refined choice.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Substitute with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce per egg for a vegan alternative.)
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (Can be exchanged for buttermilk or dairy-free yogurt.)
  • 1 cup Fresh Rhubarb (Frozen rhubarb can be used if drained of excess moisture.)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Additional Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully combined before adding the next. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest to the mixing bowl, folding everything together gently.
  6. Fold in the sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  8. Gently fold in the chopped fresh rhubarb.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the lemon drizzle by mixing powdered sugar with the additional lemon juice until smooth, and drizzle it over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Pairs beautifully with tea or coffee; can be served with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
