This cake was so good and moist. I did spray my bundt pan and then sprinkle powdered sugar on the inside. I did not add the raisins just personal preferance. Will definitely add this to my must make recipes.

Tasted good but pudding like. We cooked it for an hour until the top sprang back but after letting it cook and putting it on a plate it was flat and did not look cake like.

I used unsweetened applesauce in place of the oil. This cake was deliciously dense and moist. We loved it!
