To make tea cake with raisins, I poured a glass of cold black tea with sugar over the raisins overnight. The recipe also called for adding whiskey, but I didn’t have this drink. I replaced brown sugar with regular white sugar. In the morning, I combined all the ingredients for the dough (instead of baking powder, I took baking soda and quenched it with lemon juice), added raisins and tea to the dough, and mixed well. I poured the dough into the molds, filling them 2/3 full. The dough rose very much in the oven, each cupcake formed a high cap, similar to a cap. Then I started filling the molds 1/2 full so that the dough wouldn’t run away. The cupcakes came out sweet, aromatic, with a soft, porous crumb. The raisins added freshness and juiciness to them. It turned out delicious! I didn’t notice that I ate two cupcakes in a row. Thank you very much for the recipe!

kontaty, here you need to focus more on your oven. I wrote down the approximate temperature. I'm baking. if you are used to baking at 180-200, set this temperature.

julija, thanks for the recipe! I'm posting step-by-step photos. But I took 300 grams of raisins, and that, in my opinion, is too much. But, as they say, “everyone’s felt-tip pens are different depending on taste and color.”
