This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan and it came out perfect. The frosting was a bit too runny, but it still tasted delicious.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a less sweet frosting next time.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter frosting.
