Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
3/4 cup raisins

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2 Combine flour, sugar, caraway seeds, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream together.
3 Gently stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until dough comes together. Fold in raisins. Spoon dough into the prepared springform pan.
4 Bake until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
