I know this is awhile ago but if you had it in the fridge all night itt possible it seemed dry due to the temperature. When you bake with shortening it provides extra moisture above oil and butter but if it's cold it can seem dry and unpleasant due to it hardening in the bread.
Looks amazing 😻
Looks nice but definitely middle class cake. From England.
Try other dried fruit, add applesauce instead of shortening.

Looks like a fabulous cake. I would use applesauce instead if Cisco to add more moisture. Or Miracle whip
Yum!
Has allot of ingredients for a poor mans cake. Must be middle class cake
It was called poor man’s cake because it didn’t include eggs, butter, or milk, expensive items in the depression era. Yeah, I googled it. 😂
