Grandma's Crumb Cake Cupcakes Or Cake

---

This is a recipe my grandmother made all the time. i didn't like raisins, so she always made half without. was i spoiled, or what? like many of her old recipes that i have found, she didn't have instructions, just ingredients. (she used a wood stove to cook until i was in junior high (1960s), so many of her recipes just said bake in a hot oven, etc.) i tend to write down ingredients but no directions myself! note: see step #8 for directions on baking as an oblong cake.
