Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake is way too sweet for my taste. I had to cut back on the sugar by half.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake didn't rise properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit dense for my taste, but it's still very good.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe (used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and maple syrup instead of sugar) and it turned out great!

I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but I really enjoyed this cake. The flavors were well-balanced and the cake was very moist.

The cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cinnamon cake. It's rich and creamy, but not too sweet.
