There is something wrong with the proportions of this recipe. Too much liquid for the amount of flour -- it doesn't hold shape. I also think it has too much sugar. I tried it as written and fed the results to the geese. Then I tried it with 4 cups of flour, added a little baking soda (it is after all, "soda" bread), and reserved a little of the egg for an egg-wash of the top. Much closer to the wonderful Irish soda bread I remember from my childhood -- cooked by neighborhood moms who were born in Ireland. Enjoy!
