I used very little oil( didn't measure it but probably 1/4 cup or less) & no raisins. I did add walnuts & one extra teaspoon cinnamon & one teaspoon nutmeg. I tasted it right out of the oven & thought it was not very good. But when I tasted it again after it had cooled I thought it was very good. Will make this again. I might even add some vanilla to the batter for a little added flavor next time.

I made this recipe for a funeral dinner & everyone loved it. It's quick, easy & very tasty. I plan to make this dish again for a graduation reception this weekend.

I doubled the recipe so I could color part of it to decorate my cake. I didn't want to run out but probably could have made a single batch. Had about 2 1/2 cups left over(some white some colored). I also added almond extract. This is my new favorite frosting recipe. EXCELLANT!!
