Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cut the cinnamon swirl raisin bread into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the melted unsalted butter to the custard mixture.
Gently fold the bread cubes into the custard mixture, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
Add the raisins to the mixture and lightly mix to evenly distribute them.
Transfer the soaked bread mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish before serving. Optionally, serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
