  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6      cups          Flour
   1      teaspoon      Baking soda
     3/4  cup           Sugar
   1      pound         Raisins
   3      teaspoons     Baking powder
   1 1/2  teaspoons     Salt
   1      each          Caraway seeds to taste
                        (usually 1/8 cup
   1      quart         Buttermilk

Mix all the dry ingredients in a LARGE bowl. Mix in caraway and rasins. Mix in buttermilk. It helps to use your hands to mix this because the dough is stickey DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER. I did this a couple of times and the bread came out very flat. Divide batter into two buttered cake pans. Flour a knife and cut a cross into the tops of each. Bake at 350 for about an hour. The top should not be allowed to get to brown.
