The Soda Bread I elected to make for St. Patrick's Day, 2020 with excellent results. Though more American than other's I've tried I really liked it. Moister and richer but not too sweet. It was a hit with the entire family.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups low fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cranberries until well combined.
In a second bowl stir together the buttermilk, eggs and melted butter.
Pour the buttermilk mixture all at once into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove loaf from the pan and transfer to wire rack to continue cooling.
