This cake was a complete disaster. It was dry and crumbly, and the flavors were all wrong.

I had some trouble getting the cake out of the pan. I think I'll grease and flour the pan next time.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but this cake was still really good. The chocolate flavor was strong enough to balance out the cinnamon.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. I also added some chopped nuts to the batter.

This cake was so delicious and easy to make! I used a 9x13 pan and it turned out perfectly. The cinnamon and chocolate flavors were perfect together, and the cake was moist and fluffy.
