Rhubarb Bread

Rhubarb is my current favorite flavor and one of the things that actually grows very well here in Anchorage. There’s only a few small plants at my house but I’ve been trimming back the rhubarb plants at my neighbors’ house regularly.

Ingredients:
1/3 c butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 c flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 c chopped rhubarb, raw
2 c sourdough starter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp ground cloves

Cream butter & sugar. Add egg, vanilla. Add everything else. Bake in greased loaf pan at 350°F for 1 hr or until done.

I have actually quit measuring ingredients but the above is the amounts I think I should be using. And I probably shouldn’t call this “bread” it’s more like cake without frosting.
