The cake was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This coffee cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This coffee cake is a great way to use up leftover coffee. I usually have a cup or two left over from the morning and this is a great way to use it up.
