"Another family favourite from my mom's recipe collection. Delicious, moist and wonderful. Kids love them, great for teas, coffee hour and bake sales. Irresistibly good with or without the home made icing. The icing makes for over the top."

Very good - we made 20 muffins out of this recipe, skipped the icing though. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! Reminds me of a simple boiled war cake, but with a candy topping. My toddler was stealing these off the cooling rack! I can't resist brown sugar desserts, and this didn't disappoint. I used the full amount of raisins, but probably should have stuck with the 1 cup that you use, as mine were a bit crumbly. I also think I over cooked the topping, as I had to basically flatten patties of it atop each cupcake, not too attractive, but certainly yummmmmmy!!! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
