*The secret to an incredible crumb for this or any coffeecake is a simple technique; melting the butter prior to combining it with the sugar and flour...it makes all the difference. *For softer plumper raisins; try soaking them in some hot water and dark rum (optional) for about 15 minutes, then drained well before using.
