There's just enough cake to hold the nuts and fruit together, and no nasty citron. This is one terrific cake.

This fruitcake is a disaster. It's dry, crumbly, and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This fruitcake is a bit too dense for my taste. I would recommend using a lighter touch when mixing the batter.

This fruitcake is way too sweet for my taste. I would recommend cutting the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

This fruitcake is a bit dry for my taste. I would recommend adding some extra liquid to the batter or soaking the fruit in rum before adding it to the cake.

This fruitcake is a great make-ahead dessert. You can make it up to a week in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.
