A sweet, spicy brown sugar topping crowns this rich bread. Top with cinnamon-laced whipped cream or apricot-flavored cream cheese. Keeps well and freezes well.

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups sour cream

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup raisins

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 9-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, stir together the sour cream and baking soda. Set aside for 5 minutes. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and raisins and whisk until blended. Set aside.

In a small bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the salt. Add to the sour cream mixture and stir just until blended.

Spread evenly in the prepared pan. Stir together the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, brown sugar, and walnuts. Sprinkle and press lightly over the batter. Bake until a thin wooden skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes: 1 loaf. Double recipe for 2 loaves.
