Made these for a potluck at work. Very easy to do. The cake part was moist and tender. Just the right amount of cinnamon. Might increase the raisins to 2/3 cup next time. The cream cheese frosting was decadent. I did sift the powdered sugar and I didn't have a lumpiness problem. Thanks for sharing this recipe. My co-workers ate every crumb.
