Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 9x5-inch loaf pans with parchment paper.

Step 4

Divide batter evenly between prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle liberally with reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Add flour mixture in 3 to 4 batches, alternating with the water, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add rhubarb with the last addition of flour, ; stir only until flour is mixed in.
