A treat for your coffee table: fluffy, sweet bread with rhubarb, blackberries and a touch of cinnamon.

Deliciously moist and sweet bread with tangy rhubarb and blackberries, this is my Secret Recipe Club recipe for the month of April. I can assure you, you will looooove this bread/cake. I made it for my birthday breakfast, when I invited some of my closest female friends, we were 8 of us and each one loved this cake.

Not to mention my kiddies, they ate lots the day I’ve made the cake and polished off all the rests the next day, complaining that the two loaves were actually not enough. So I am pretty sure I will bake the Blackberry Rhubarb Bread with Cinnamon and Brown Sugar again this rhubarb season.

The source of this wonderful recipe is Cook with Sara, a blog which I got to know through the Secret Recipe Club. It is obviously run by Sara and she’s been adding recipes to her blog since 2009. You can imagine how much time one can spend on the blog, clicking through all these great recipes.

As my theme for these two weeks is rhubarb, I searched for rhubarb recipes and I was impressed with how much choice there was. Thank God, Sara loves rhubarb just as much as I do, so I actually had difficulties not in finding rhubarb recipes but in deciding which one of these great recipe I would actually make for the assignment.

In the end it was a tough decision between the Rhubarb Blackberry Bread and the Rhubarb Blueberry Bars and I made the bread because I thought it would be a better fit for the breakfast table. It did, it did, it did, it was the perfect finale for our breakfast. But I will make the bars as soon as possible as well, I love that thick blueberry-rhubarb layer one can see in the pictures.

And you cannot imagine how many other recipes I found on Sara’s blog, recipes that I would love to try soon, the choice is really overwhelming. To mention just a few:

Coconut Crusted Salmon with Asian Mango Slaw 

Feta Zucchini Pancakes

Rhubarb Sorbet – a great way of using some of the rhubarb I freeze every spring

Frosted Lemon Squares

So make yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea and have a look at Sara’s recipes, you will definitely find something you will want to start cooking or baking immediately.
