Midge, I just want to let you know we made this and it was just great. Normally neither of us are big bakers but with the holidays coming and this looked easy and we had the ingrdients. We froze all but one loaf and have eaten the one we left for ourself! It was moist, sweet and tasted like the raisin cake my grandma used to bake. Thank you-!----10
