Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups optional mix-ins, such as dried fruits or nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender bread texture.
If using optional mix-ins like dried fruits or nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
