There isn't too much to say about this, but it is nice cake with rhubarb and a crumb topping. At first I thought it was just so, so. But after having the frozen pieces later, I decided it was pretty good. Since I have lots of rhubarb growing in my yard, it is a good recipe to have.

I'm not sure why this took me 25 minutes. Prepping the rhubarb, and making the topping took the most time, I think. I should have used a larger bowl for the topping.

I really liked this one a lot. It has 2 cup of the wheat flour and 1/2 cup of regular, but you cannot really tell that it is whole wheat. I think the strong flavor of the rhubarb helps with this. In general, all of the quick breads and coffecakes that I have tried have done a good job of disguising the fact that they are whole wheat. (I'm sure all the sugar and butter helps!)

Since I have some rhubarb in my garden that comes back every year, regardless of how badly I treat it, I will definitely be making this again.

I really like this bread, but it can be a little tart in bites because of the rhubarb. I discovered some rhubarb plants on the side of my garage when I bought my house. I found this recipe and have been making this bread once a year for the past 7 or 8 years. The recipe makes 2 loves, and it freezes well.
