    In large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar, the oil, eggs, milk and orange peel with wire whisk. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt just until flour is moistened. Stir in rhubarb.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    When buying rhubarb at the grocery store or farmers' market, look for crisp red stalks with blemish-free green leaves. Cut the rhubarb as you would celery; if the stalks are large, cut in half lengthwise before chopping. Rhubarb leaves can be toxic, so be sure to only use the stalks of the plant.
  • tip 2
    Before starting a baking recipe, check the expiration date on your baking powder to make sure it’s fresh.
