One of DH's favorites! 
Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread
Posted by 1Steve (RQ) - This recipe was passed on to me by a dear friend of my mothers who was born and raised in Ireland. It's the best Irish soda bread I have ever had. It is much higher, lighter and softer than most other recipes I have seen. It has an excelent flavor and texture as well.
Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread
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
1 Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2 In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream.
3 Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
4 Batter will be very thick.
5 Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands.
6 Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
7 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.
8 With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top.
9 Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350ºF oven.
