  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Lemon: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the lemon juice and lemon zest.
  4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in Sour Cream and Rhubarb: Stir in the sour cream or yogurt until the batter is smooth. Gently fold in the diced rhubarb.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Glaze: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze, adding rhubarb syrup for color if desired. Drizzle over the cooled loaf before slicing and serving.
