Irish Rosie'S Irish Soda Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 pint sour cream
2 eggs
2 tablespoons caraway seeds (optional but I always use them)
3/4 cup raisins

Preparation

Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.
Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
Batter will be very thick.
Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands.
Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands.
With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top.
Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350\u00b0F oven.
