Rhubarb Streusel Bread
ingredients
Bread Batter:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup orange juice
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Streusel:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
method
Heat oven to 350° F.. Grease and flour 8x4-inch loaf pan.
Combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Reduce speed to low and add orange juice and eggs. Continue beating just until mixed. (Mixture will look slightly curdled.) Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt by hand just until moistened. Gently stir in rhubarb. (Batter will be thick.)
Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the batter and spread the remaining batter into prepared loaf pan. Combine all streusel ingredients in small bowl; stir until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half of streusel over batter in pan; gently press into batter. Carefully spread reserved batter into pan; top with remaining streusel. Press streusel into batter.
Bake for 65 to 70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan.
Recipe Tips: Bread can be baked in greased and floured 9x5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. This is a great make-ahead bread as the flavors are almost better the second day. Once loaf is completely cooled, wrap in aluminum foil and refrigerate. This bread also freezes well.
