I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. Maybe I overbaked it?

This cake was good, but I think it could have been better if I had used fresh cranberries instead of dried ones.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll cut back on the sugar a bit.

I'm not usually a fan of fruitcake, but this Amish funeral cake changed my mind. The cranberries and walnuts add a nice tartness and crunch. I'll definitely be making this again for my next potluck.

I've tried many funeral cakes before, but this one takes the cake! (See what I did there?) The combination of spices and nuts gives it a unique and delicious flavor.

This Amish funeral cake was a hit at my family gathering! It had a moist crumb and a sweet, yet not overly sweet, flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
