The article shares a family recipe, highlighting the journey of the author's grandmother who crafted an alternative Irish soda bread that avoids traditional ingredients like caraway seeds. The recipe is described as slightly sweet, akin to pound cake, and features a light texture with raisins. It encourages readers to approach this version without preconceived notions of standard Irish soda bread. The result is a delightful treat that can be enjoyed as a dessert or breakfast companion with tea, appealing to a wider taste preference.
My grandmother came over from the old country (Ireland), she realized that a lot of people here didn't like caraway seeds and a drier bread. She set out to make a bread everyone would like and I believe she did it.
You have to have an open mind and not compare this to what you think Irish soda bread should be because it truly is not your average Irish soda bread.
Slightly sweet, it has more of a texture of a pound cake and is delicious. It's like your average quick bread with a light and airy texture and raisins peppered throughout.
Enjoy with a cup of tea for a light dessert or as a sweet breakfast option.
