Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth, with no pockets of flour.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade sour cream bread plain, or spread with butter, jam, or honey for an extra treat!
