My grandmother's famous recipe. She mad it often and we all loved it. I must admit that I do not know why my family calls this raisin bread, because it has always seemed more like a cake to me.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my bread didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I expected.
