Ingredients
  

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs large
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup jimmies red, green, and white
  • 1 parchment paper for a sling

Equipment

  • 1 9x5-inch loaf pan

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a parchment paper sling.
  3. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold just until no dry streaks remain.
  6. Gently fold in the jimmies.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes.
  10. Lift it out using the parchment and cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, let the bread cool completely before cutting. Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; freezer-friendly. A 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend can be used as a dietary swap, though the texture may vary.
