Overall, this was a good recipe. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and sweet. I would definitely make it again.

The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cake itself was delicious. I would definitely make it again, but I would use a different frosting recipe.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little lighter and fluffier.

I'm not a big fan of dates, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The cake was surprisingly delicious. The dates added a subtle sweetness and the mayonnaise made it moist and fluffy.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the frosting. It was a bit too sweet for my taste.
