Overall, I thought this cake was pretty good. It was moist and flavorful, but I think it could have used a little more spice.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a well-made cake.
