Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Moist Rhubarb Quick Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup of sugar with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and the remaining sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and ⅓ cup of vegetable oil until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold 1 cup of prepared rhubarb into the batter.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Layer the rest of the batter and top with remaining cinnamon-sugar.
  8. Bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  9. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
