Sweet Irish Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup raisins

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. I use a glass one.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the sour cream mixture until just blended. Fold in raisins. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.

3. 3

   Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the crown, comes out clean.
