This worked out nicely as a quick fix for St. Pat's Day dinner...I happened to have a big box of Biscuit mix that I never use {{I think it was given to my husband by his parents , 'cause he is a big pancake fan and I never make 'um {{lol}} and yikes, don't think too ill of me, it is a bit past its "best before date"... }}...I cheated and used an egg sub...then really did a badness and used seltzer (lemon/lime flavored)... I know you said not to but I didn't have club soda and...{{ }} sorry...maybe mine didn't rise as much but never the mind; I layered two on top of each other and used some green food coloring and glitter gel added both golden and brown raisins and caraway seeds ...and called it "weird Irish Soda Bread-Cake" Thanks for a tasty easy treat... was a lovely nutty loaf with an interesting texture...quite good dispite my goofs. I would do this again as quick as an Irish Jig!!

Well, there is nothing weird about this bread. It is fabulous. I made it tonight for our St.Patty's Day dinner and it was a smashing hit. I doubled the recipe and made too. We didn't have any left. Thanks for posting mandabears.

My husband invited last minute guests to join us for St. Patty's Day corned beef and cabbage. I scrambled to find recipes to round out our dinner. This easily fit the bill. The simplicity of the recipe made with ingredients that I always have on hand worked well for me after a hectic day. We loved the sweet, biscuity flavor and texture of this bread. I did stir in caraway seeds and loved those little bites of flavor.

The result of this recipe was very tasty, but definitely NOT what I'd call Irish Soda Bread. The only kind I've had has been from an Irish Festival, and it had a very distinctive taste, which this lacks. It's a very nice cake-like bread though. I only baked it for 20 minutes, and it was done. It didn't rise very much, and I made sure to get a fresh bottle of club soda from the store, so it wasn't flat. I ended up serving cut up strawberries on it, topped with whipped cream. It was very tasty like that! So I give 5 stars for flavor, but 0 stars for accuracy, hence the 3 star rating.
