Preparation

Step 1

Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

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.

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 350ºF oven.
