I've never been a fan of fruitcake, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and the fruit is not too chewy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fruitcake turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This fruitcake is a bit dense, but it's still very flavorful. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
