This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's always a hit. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

The cake was dense and fudgy, just the way I like it. The frosting was also very good, but I thought it was a bit too thick. I would probably thin it out with some milk next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
