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. —Kerry Barnett-Amundson, Ocean Park, Washington

I love this recipe! Super-easy and yummy (and I love recipes that I can use my springform pan with, instead of it just sitting in the cabinet). Love the caraway and the raisins - I usually throw in a little bit extra of both. Once cooled, I usually throw a slice in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to warm it up and serve with butter.

Loved this recipe, but I think I made a mistake....I bought "lite" sour cream so the dough was very stiff. It was still moist but kind of difficult to "spoon" into the pan.

Great recipe! I served this for my St. Patrick's day meal yesterday. I did make a few changes however. I halved the recipe because I thought it made a lot, and still put in an a 9 in. springform pan. I also used half sour cream and half buttermilk and left out the raisins. I baked it at the same temp. for only 30 minutes but I might have overbaked it a little. I might try 25 minutes next time and check it. I sliced it into 8 wedges. I loved the flavor, very interesting taste. My siblings loved the new appearance, they look like wedges of pie. It is probably a little dry for my tastes, but I will make it again because I like the flavor and they are great with butter on top.

This turned out great! I had never made Irish Soda bread before and didn't know what to expect, pleasantly surprised! It was so moist.

I had never had Irish Soda Bread before but this was very easy and fantastic! I love the caraway seeds but not everyone does. It is not diet by any means but it is awesome for once a year.

very easy, better tasting than others I've tried that were much more involved

This is the best and easiest recipe ever! It has become a St. Patrick's Day tradition in our home.

Tired of tasteless & hard soda bread from the store, I tried this recipe and now it is my go-to Irish Soda Bread recipe. This is not like typical dry soda bread, it is moist and delicious. I used golden raisins because it is what I had on hand, it tasted authentic and remained moist. The dough is sticky and hard to mix-I broke my scraper trying to fold in the raisins! Well worth the effort, quick & easy..and delicious.
