This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I would probably make this cake again, but I would add some extra moisture, such as sour cream or yogurt.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The texture was nice and moist, and the chocolate flavor was rich. I would probably make this cake again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar.
