This cake is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less ginger and cloves next time.

This cake is a great make-ahead dessert. I often make it the day before and then just let it sit overnight.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out really dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake is a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or oil next time.
