Michele, niece, and I and my Mom made a lot of food today. We made the cupcakes for Easter and froze them so all I have to do is put them together the day before Easter (Holy Saturday).
Mix together:
2 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
Melt 3/4 stick of butter (or just the whole stick)
add to:
1 cup milk
Add milk and melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients
Mix together.
DONE!
Form 2 round loaves as seen below... bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for about an hour. Check it a lot so that it doesn’t burn. I think we overcooked one loaf.
There must be something wrong with Mom’s oven because the loaf on the left cooked quicker than the one on the right. Weird.
Isn’t this a beauty?
I put it on a pretty plate and took some pictures.
Pretty dishes...
This was such a delightful day cooking with Michele and Mom and...
then we got to eat the Irish soda bread!!

Paula, it's easy and quick although it takes an hour to cook. It's more like a cake because it's sweet. That's why it's tasty. :)
DeleteRead about this on Twitter! :) Looks wonderful, and your pictures are so pretty! I want to make this with my mom, too! <3

DeleteSilly question? Do you have to use the raisins? And can you make
ReplyDeletethis with Splenda?
Yummy!
M :)
No you don't have to use raisins. i think I'd make it with fewer raisins next time. Does Splenda cook well? I don't use it so I'm not sure. You could "Google" it. :) Thanks for adding to the conversation, Melinda.
Deletethat looks delicious. Great to serve it with nice crockery
