Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup raisins
• ¼ cup butter
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. I use a glass one.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sour cream. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; stir into the sour cream mixture until just blended. Fold in raisins. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan.

Step 3

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the crown, comes out clean.
