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 made this bread for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the glaze on top. It gave the bread a nice crunch.

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the raisins were tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
