Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 and place the rack in the middle.
Spray a 5 by 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese evenly in bottom of pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until combined. Then using a rubber spatula, mix in the cheddar cheese cubes, until the cheese is coated with flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and sour cream. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (the batter will be very thick and lumps are ok). Be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake until the top is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; use a knife to loosen the sides and turn onto wire rack and continue to cool until warm, about 45 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.
