This recipe needs more chocolate. It's just not chocolatey enough for me.

This recipe is a fail. The cake didn't rise and it tasted like eggs.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dry and crumbly.

This cake is a bit dense for my taste, but the flavor is still good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
