Sainsburys pumpkin spice cake - taste the difference autumn edition

Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed with this cake.
Firstly, the cake had a waxy mouthfeel which leads the humectant and glycerol culprit I found in the ingredients.
I can't understand why the manufacturers use these ingredients when Mary Berry does not in her supermarket cakes.
Secondly, the cloves and nutmeg were so strong that it was like eating a masala chai cake.
I am not sure if it is just me but I would associate pumpkin spice flavours with strong cinnamon which I didn't really taste in this cake.
