For a richer flavor, soak the raisins in warm water or rum for 30 minutes before adding them to the batter. To prevent the raisins from sinking to the bottom of the bread, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the dry ingredients. Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
