Surmælksfrugtbrød is a classic Danish bread typically enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. It features a soft, moist texture, and a fruity tangy flavor that comes from the combination of sour cream and dried fruit. Perfect for a lazy weekend morning or an afternoon tea party, this recipe is an excellent introduction to the flavors of Denmark.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 350F.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, white flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, dried apricot, dried prune, and salt.
3.In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add sour cream, melted butter, chopped almonds, grated lemon rind, and vanilla. Mix well.
4.Combine the two mixtures and stir until incorporated.
5.Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6.Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack.
7.The bread can be dusted with powdered sugar and topped with candied fruit slices, if desired.

PROS

Sour cream adds a nice tangy flavor while also making the bread extra moist.
Loads of dried fruit and nuts make for a deliciously textured loaf.

CONS

The overall sweetness of the bread may be a bit too much for some people.
The recipe calls for two cups of flour, which can result in a very dense bread if not mixed well.
