For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of melted butter. Toast the walnuts before chopping to enhance their nutty taste. Feel free to substitute other dried fruits such as cranberries or chopped dates for the raisins. A cream cheese frosting with a hint of orange zest would complement this bread beautifully.
