Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: melted butter, sour cream, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the rhubarb.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly and tapping to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.
  9. Once the loaf is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
