Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 pt sour cream
2 eggs
2 Tbsp caraway seeds (optional but i always use them)
3/4 c raisins

Steps:

1. Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
2. In a small bowl beat eggs and stir in sour cream. Add the egg and sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon. Batter will be very thick. Add the raisins and caraway seeds and stir well with wooden spoon or knead in with your hands. Place batter in a greased 9 inch springform pan.
3. Dust the top with enough flour so that you can pat the batter like a bread dough evenly in the pan without it sticking to your hands. With a knife make a shallow crisscross on the top. Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.
