Ingredients

Scale

For the Loaf:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb

For the Glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: Beat in eggs one at a time, then add lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sour cream or Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth.
  5. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined—don’t overmix!
  6. Add rhubarb: Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  7. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and glaze: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and let set.
