Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 5 1/2 by 3-inch loaf plan, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons parmesan evenly over bottom of pan.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, cayenne, and pepper together in medium bowl. Fold in cheddar, breaking up any clumps, until cheese is coated with flour mixture. In separate bowl, whisk milk, sour cream, egg, and melted butter together until smooth. Gently fold milk mixture into flour mixture with rubber spatula until just combined.
