Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
2 medium eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 cup fresh, gently crushed raspberries
1/3 cup slivered or sliced almonds

Directions

In a medium size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and the salt.

In a large size bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter, until well mixed and smooth.

Blend in the sugar and the almond extract, continuing to mix, until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, continuing to mix until well combined.

Mix in the flour mixture alternating with the sour cream.

Gently, using a wooden spoon, fold in the crushed raspberries and the slivered almonds, stirring just until combined, do not over-mix.

Transfer the batter for the raspberry bread recipe into a greased (I use non-stick cooking oil spray), 8" x 4" or a 9" x 5" loaf pan.

Bake at 325° F for 55 - 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool the bread in the pan for about 5 minutes, and then invert onto a wire rack, and allow bread to cool completely.

Slice before serving, and serve plain, or with butter and jam, optional.

Makes 1 large loaf of delicious raspberry-almond quick bread!

Enjoy this Yummy Bread!

Bread Baking Tip

When baking bread, I like to add a shield or protenction to the outer edges of the bread baking in the loaf pan to avoid edges that are too dark or burnt.

To do this, I simply make a "shield" using foil paper, by cutting the center out of a piece of rectangular foil (see image).

I usually add the shield after the quick bread has been baking in the oven for about 40 minutes.

This is similar to the idea of the handy pie crust shield.
