  1. Mary Ann Henry was my much-loved grandmother. Glad that you are sharing and enjoying the recipe that has been a family staple for many years.
     
  2. I saved this recipe from an issue of Family Circle magazine close to twenty years ago, and it is definitely a keeper! (I even lost it once, and not remembering the magazine it was featured in, wrote to all of the women's magazines asking if they knew what I was talking about.) It's THAT good! So glad to see it made it to the internet so others can enjoy it. This recipe is super moist, uses tons of raisins, and best of all, is so easy to make. I absolutely love it!
