This is the best Irish soda bread recipe as it's made with buttermilk and raisins. It's moist, cake-like, and so delicious —you'll be craving it all year 'round.

Direction

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan.
2. Stir flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter gently into the flour mixture until well combined; stir in raisins. Whisk buttermilk and eggs together in a separate bowl; lightly beat egg mixture into flour mixture. Place dough into the prepared cake pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the bread has risen and the top is golden brown, 45 minutes to 1 hour. A knife inserted into the center of the bread should come out clean. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm.
