I forgot to mention that I used zante currants instead of raisins.

The best Irish Soda Bread I've ever tasted. I am making it for the third time for a bake sale. It was a special request.

I've never had Irish Soda bread but it was delicious! I made it for St. Pattys Day. It tasted more like a cake than a bread. It looked way better too than those hard loafs you get at the grocery. Overall this was quick to prepare and is definetly going in the recipe binder. yum-o!

Delicious! Great texture and super easy to make. I made the first one with raisins but since I'm not a fan of raisins I didn't like it. Made another one without and it was perfect!

It was great out of the oven and even better the next day toasted. Next time I will cut the raisins back to 1/2 cup and add 1/2 cup mixed fruit. It would probably taste very good with some sauteed onions and cheese.
