This was fabulous. The smell alone when it was baking was wonderful and rich. After I got it into the oven I looked over and saw my raisins sitting on the countertop, and I thought oh dang!! Forgot the raisins! But it was delicous nonetheless. I can only imagine how good it will be with raisins the next time I make it! Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
