 Michelle (New York) says:
This cake is delicious. I used craisins instead of light raisins to add another element of color and I left out the nuts due to an allergy. It is very pretty and delicious. I also only added three cups of powdered sugar for the frosting. I added it 1/2 cup at a time and tasted after every addition to make sure it wasn't getting too sweet. 5 1/2 cups would have been way too sweet for me.
