The cake was a little dry, but the filling and glaze were delicious. I think I might try a different cake recipe next time.

This cake was everything I hoped it would be and more! The cake layers were moist and flavorful, the custard filling was rich and creamy, and the chocolate glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this cake again and again.
