Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla essence.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom, and toss the diced rhubarb in the mixture.
  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and layer the topping rhubarb and sugar on top.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes, tenting with foil after 40 minutes if needed, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
