Soaking the raisins is great! I added some cinnamon and pecans. Very good sliced thick and made into French Toast.

The texture was just a little more cake-like than I hoped, but the flavor was very good. I always soak raisins overnight in regular black tea if I am making fruit bread/cake etc. It's something my gran and mum have always done, and I really like the subtle flavor it gives the fruit. Thanks!

I love raisins so this bread was delicious! Soaking the raisins definitely gives the bread extra moisture and flavour. One change though: I reduced the amount of sugar to 3/4 cup.

This recipe produced a nicely brown and moist cake-like bread, but I was not overly pleased with the tart-like aftertaste. May work nicely for a brunch served with different kinds of cream cheese.

Delicious! Definitely do not forget to soak the raisins; it makes all the difference. I added about 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans, which added a nice touch. Also, I had to bake it for about 1 hr. 15 min. But otherwise it was very easy to make and tasty as well!
