Mama's Southern Sweet Bread image

In many countries sweet bread has as many meanings as there are countries. But for my family in Arkansas when mama said she was making sweet bread for supper, it meant that we were in for a real treat. Something we didn't get too often.

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c flour, sifted several times
2 1/3 c sugar
2 stick butter
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/4 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
few drops yellow food coloring, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter & sugar till light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix flour, salt & baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • 2. Alternately add flour mixture gradually with milk to creamed mixture. Then add extracts & yellow food coloring if using, and beat until blended. Pour into a well greased & lightly floured 9 X 13 X2 inch pan, and bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Can also be baked in a Bundt pan or Loaf Pan, as you desire.
  • 3. NOTE: She called it sweet bread, because it could satisfy a sweet tooth I suppose, even though she didn't have the ingredients to make a frosting. With a long pan there was enough for all 13 of us, Mom & Dad plus 11 kids to at least each have a piece. We loved this rare treat that made supper special. Have you ever heard of sweet bread, or was it just at our house in Arkansas?
