I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I prefer simpler recipes with fewer ingredients.

This fruitcake is very dense and heavy. I prefer a lighter, airier texture.

The spices in this fruitcake are a bit too strong for my taste.

I made this fruitcake according to the recipe and it turned out too dry. I think I should have added more liquid.
