Ingredients

Bread:

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup diced fresh rhubarb
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Orange Glaze (optional):

  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed orange juice, or as needed

Directions

  1. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, orange peel and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Add to the cream mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Fold in the rhubarb and walnuts.
  2. Pour into an 8" loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350°F 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Drizzle glaze over the top (optional).
