this was really good! I thought the amount of raisins and sugar was going to be too much but it wasn't. Only thing I did different was I only added about a teaspoon of brandy-I'm not nuts over brandy when cooking. I'll definitely make this again as hubby loved it too.
My husband loves spice cake and this got two thumbs up from him. The brandy butter sauce takes it up a notch!
We really enjoyed this with little change really. I only added bacon bits on top and a few sprinkles of parsley as well. Thanks for the lovely recipe:)
