Ceta's Irish Soda Bread
"This recipe comes from my college roommate, Becky, who belongs to a very Irish family! Her family prefers this recipe because it's much sweeter than most soda breads. I like it because it's quick and easy!"

This is my kind of recipe-simple and delicious. I poured the batter in a cast iron skillet, and in 45 minutes at 350, it turned out wonderful. -
Excellent! This was a very different sort of soda bread altogether-it cooks in a large pan, cuts into squares, and it puffier and sweeter than the type I usually have eaten. We loved this recipe and will make it again often. Note: I assumed that the margarine should be melted and slightly cooled first in order for it to mix properly ino the batter and this worked out fine. -
Excellent!!! I have made this for the last three years for St.Patrick's Day. My mother in law ways takes some of the leftovers. But it does not last long! I have even converted to gluten free for my daughter. Still great! Will keep this recipe forever. -
A winner! Have been making this for years. Easy and tasty.

I really enjoyed this version of Irish soda bread! So simple to make; mine baked in 45 minutes and had a nice crust on top with a nice tender inside. This was a bit sweeter than I've had before but I liked it that way :) Cut into small squares to serve and everyone enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe!

We enjoyed this bread. It's batter is more like cornbread batter and cooks like it. Thus we cut it into squares like we would cornbread. It was more moist and sweet than most other Irish soda breads I have tasted. I replaced part of the raisins with dried cranberries. It was easy. Thank you for a good recipe.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
