Can I make these cupcakes vegan?

What can I use instead of cognac?

You can omit the cognac or replace it with vanilla extract, rum extract, or apple juice for a similar flavor profile.

How do I prevent the raisins from sinking to the bottom?

Toss the raisins in a little flour before adding them to the batter to help them stay evenly distributed.
