Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cups sour cream
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups optional mix-ins, such as dried fruits or nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender bread texture.

Step 7

If using optional mix-ins like dried fruits or nuts, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
