I'm not a baker, but this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! It was moist and flavorful, with the perfect amount of ginger and walnuts. I will definitely be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I liked the combination of ginger and walnuts, but I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier cake. I might try making it again with a different recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was pretty good. I liked the combination of ginger and walnuts, and the cake was very moist. I would probably make it again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar.
