I had a bunch of raisans lying in the cabinet, i bought a whole lot of seedless raisans to bake plum cake for christmas. I had some extras, so i looked online for raisan cake and came across this recipe. It was very easy to make so i tried immediately. The cake turned out so moist, the raisan in the cake was so plump and juicy.
This cake is a make ahead cake, you have to bake it a day before you want to slice it, this way the raisans will mature and be very juicy.
