This coffee cake was very good! I used regular raisins instead of golden because that is what I had. Other than that, I made it exactly as written. I tasted it when it was slightly warm and it was very good. I decided, however, that it would be even better with a glaze. I drizzled the cake, while it was still warm, with a glaze made of powdered sugar, water, and some melted Hershey's cinnamon chips. The glaze definitely put this delicious cake over the top. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!!
