This cake was a disappointment. It was dry, dense, and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add more liquid to the batter next time, perhaps some milk or sour cream.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would try using a different frosting next time, perhaps a cream cheese frosting.
