Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Ensure all wet ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which can result in a tough bread.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly. Smooth the top of the batter to ensure an even rise during baking.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the bread - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. The bread can be enjoyed plain, with butter, or as a breakfast or dessert accompaniment.
Tips
- * To ensure your bread rises evenly, make sure to grease your loaf pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray. * Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense, tough bread. Stop mixing as soon as the wet and dry ingredients are just combined. * If you're unsure whether your bread is done, insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center. If it comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs, it's ready! * Let your bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from becoming soggy or falling apart. * Experiment with different toppings or spreads to take your Sour Cream Maple Bread to the next level - from classic butter and jam to cream cheese or honey, the possibilities are endless!
