I don't know if I did something wrong, but my cake came out kind of dry. It tasted ok, but I expected it to be more moist than it turned out to be. I don't think I'll be making this one again. Sorry!

I found this recipe easy to prepare. The cake, tho, was dense and heavy, almost like a pound cake. If I make it again, I will at least double the raisin quantity.
