Irish Soda Bread With Raisins Recipe on Food52

"This Irish soda bread with raisins recipe is incredibly easy and delicious. It has a cakey texture that's great with tea or coffee. No need to toast or butter...."

INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 cups buttermilk, cold (you may need a little less or more)
2 large eggs, cold (yes, cold)
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all purpose, unbleached white flour, plus another 1/4 cup for dusting. Any all purpose, unbleached flour is fine but King Arthur\'s all purpose unbleached flour (not cake flour) seems to work well.
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon iodized salt (table salt)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) very cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, plus a few teaspoons for greasing baking dish
1 1/2 cups dark seedless raisins (can substitute seedless golden raisins or dried cranberries)
