Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup sugar and 8 oz butter until creamy.
Add eggs, baking soda, salt, milk, and vanilla. Beat again.
Add 2 cups flour and beat until batter is smooth.
Stir in rhubarb and pecans.
Transfer batter to a greased bread pan.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. The consistency will be a paste like crumble.
Sprinkle crumble evenly over batter.
Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Use fresh rhubarb for best results but frozen works great too.
Avoid overmixing the batter or your cake will end up tough.
Grease loaf pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray so the bread releases easily from the pan.
Allow the bread to cool before slicing and serving.
The rhubarb quick bread is cooked when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the loaf will be golden brown and also bounce back slightly when pressed.
