Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms only of 2 (8x4-inch) loaf pans with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 2
    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.
  • 3
    Divide batter evenly between pans. Sprinkle each pan with 1/4 cup almonds; lightly press almonds into batter. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon sugar.
  • 4
    Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut with serrated knife.

  • 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.
  • Before starting a baking recipe, check the expiration date on your baking powder to make sure it’s fresh.
