This was delicious! WHat a great combination of flavors! Hint: don't drown your cake in the sauce - it will 1. get soggy & 2. be to sweet. LOL. Many people completely enjoyed this. One hint I thought of too late was to coat the raisins in flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the pan. My raisins stuck to the pan. :( The lime zest was extra special as odd as it seemed at first. Thanks, Leslie! Made for the 1/08 Aussie Swap.
