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 cup chopped fresh rhubarb

For the Glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

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