If you really want grandma's recipe, look no further! I never thought I'd duplicate my own granny's recipe, but this is it. For extra moist cake, wrap in plastic wrap then foil while the cake is still hot. This recipe is now going to be a Holiday favorite in my house. Thanks so much for sharing! P.S. I skipped the cocoa, added more raisins and used half apple butter and half cinnamon applesauce.
