For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for enhanced aroma and taste.
Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can be added to the batter for extra texture.
Ensure the raisins are completely covered with the boiling water mixture to prevent them from drying out during the overnight soak.

Jun 15, 2025My bread was a little dry. Next time, I will try adding a bit more oil or soaking the raisins for a longer time.
