This cake was a disaster! The cake was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was grainy and too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was good. I think I would have liked it better if the cake had been more moist.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I think I would have liked it better if the frosting had been a little less sweet.
