Rhubarb Loaf

Well I couldn't go the whole batch of rhubarb without a couple dessert recipes right!? We're coming close to the end of the collection now just a couple more recipes to go. Next up on the list is rhubarb cake! 

The trick I find to baking with rhubarb is making sure you have a little sweet with the natural tart. Soaking rhubarb in a bit of sugar before baking with it. It makes this local tart favorite into a candied delight!
