How to Make Sour Cream Raspberry Swirl Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup raspberry jam (or your favorite jam) with 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Beat in the zest of 1 lemon, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 1 large egg white until well combined.
  7. Add the dry ingredients and 1 cup sour cream alternately to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the raspberry jam and nut mixture evenly over the batter, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the jam mixture and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the loaf is still slightly warm, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
