"The nutmeg and cinnamon combination was awesome! It smelled so good! But, my cake was a flop; it looked good on the outside but was starchy in the inside... gave the appearance of play dough... too ..." See moremuch water? The measurements and temperature were right, and I even left the cake in the oven longer... but..."

"Very good! I used whole wheat flour and it turned out great! I will probably leave out 1/4c sugar next time, as it is sweeter than I thought- but very delicious. Thank-you!..." See more"

"I have tried so many recipes on this site but this is my first review coz I am truly impressed at how such an easy and simplified recipe could taste so good and still be foolproof. It turned out ligh..." See moret, moist and even better than some of the best fruit cakes I've tried. At first, I was worried when I saw there were no eggs nor baking powder in the recipe and was wondering how the cake could possibly rise, but it turned out just fine. My husband and kids loved it. I would reduce the sugar to 3/4 cup the next time I bake it only because we like cakes less sweet...but this recipe on its own is really PERFECT! Absolutely for keeps!"
