Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

2. Make the Batter

  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and yogurt until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

3. Add the Cinnamon Swirl

  1. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar with the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon for the swirl.
  2. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  4. Add the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out with a spatula.
