This fruitcake was a complete disaster! It was so dense and dry that it was inedible. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This fruitcake is very dense and dry. I think I overbaked it. I'll try again next time and bake it for a shorter amount of time.

This fruitcake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very moist and flavorful. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I've been baking fruitcake for years, and this California version is one of my favorites. The addition of orange and lemon zest gives it a bright, citrusy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet dried fruits and nuts.
