Ingredients

Scale

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 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped fresh rhubarb

powdered sugar for glaze

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for glaze

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, sour cream, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined, then fold in the chopped rhubarb.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Notes

For best results, allow the loaf to cool completely before glazing to ensure the glaze sets properly. You can adjust the glaze consistency by adding more or less lemon juice.
