Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour Spooned into the cup and leveled.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs Room temperature.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup milk
Mix-ins
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, for the batter Fold in gently at the end so the colors do not bleed.
- ¼ cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, for topping Sprinkle over the batter before baking.
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the long sides.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Make the batter
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar for 3 to 4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the sour cream and milk until the batter is smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of the Fruity Pebbles cereal.
Bake and cool
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cereal.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 45 minutes.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out with the parchment and cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
Fold the cereal in gently at the end so the colors do not bleed, and do not overmix the batter. This makes a modest loaf in a 9x5-inch pan; use an 8.5x4.5-inch pan for a taller loaf. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter or cream cheese. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
