These cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

Overall, I thought these cakes were pretty good. They're a nice change from the usual black bean burger.

These cakes were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to hold together. I think I might have added too much liquid.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still liked them. I'll probably make them again with less chili powder.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I really enjoyed these cakes. The mango salsa was the perfect complement.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the cakes are always delicious. I usually serve them with a side of rice and beans.
