German Fruit Cake Bottom image

Typically baked in a special round form that bakes a rim for easier filling, but any round 11 inch form will do. Fill baked bottom with 3/8 inch (1 cm) pastry cream or thick vanilla pudding and top with fresh fruit like strawberries. Keep strawberries from toppling off the cake by pouring a little strawberry flavored prepared jello over strawberries. When set cut cake into 12 wedges. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a very good cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dry. Maybe I overbaked it? I'm going to try again, but I'll be more careful this time.

This cake was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland and tasteless. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a disaster! The cake didn't rise properly and it was way too dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding some extra moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
