Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh rhubarb, diced

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla until blended. Add the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Fold in the rhubarb.
