Easy Irish Soda Bread Recipe

•     
•     

This is the best Irish soda bread I've ever had. It's lighter and softer than most others I've tried. We like slices spread with whipped butter. 

 

Ingredients

• 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
• 3/4 cup raisins

Directions

• 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, caraway seeds,
•  baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl,
•  whisk eggs and sour cream. 
• Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. 
• Fold in raisins.
• 2. Spoon into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for
•  40-45 or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. 
• Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing sides of pan.
•  Cut into wedges; serve warm. 
• Yield: 1 loaf (12 wedges).
