Wildflower Sanctuary Volunteer-Sustaining Rhubarb Bread

Is your rhubarb producing like never before, and the rain just keeps coming?  On Saturday, Sarah Kimber brought this decadent bread treat to nourish our Wildflower Sanctuary "weeders and picker-uppers".  It is a sweet quick bread with yummy topping that we voted "share-worthy". 
 
Here is the recipe for Rhubarb bread, compliments of Sarah's friend, Dee Frieders: 
 
1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 egg
1 cup sour milk
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 and1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 cups rhubarb, finely chopped
1/2 c sugar
1 Tablespoons margarine or butter 
 
Bread:  Cream together brown sugar, oil, egg and vanilla.
Then alternate mixing in sour milk with the flour, salt, baking soda.
Add rhubarb.
Fill two greased loaf pans.
 
Topping:  Cream together 1/2 c sugar with 1 T margarine or butter for topping.  Sprinkle on top of bread dough.
 
Bake at 350 for 45 min.
Enjoy!
