The cake was a bit too dense. I think I should have used more baking powder.

The cake didn't rise very much. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I overbaked it. Next time I'll check it a few minutes earlier.

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