Great flavor and texture which was dense but light. Only variation was to use honey Greek yogurt as that was on hand and I think it added to the taste and density. Streusel was great, but press it in before baking. Wasn't crazy about the raisins, they gave it a fruitcake-like taste. Next time would use dried cherries, cranberries, craisins or no dried fruit.
