Disaster! I think my baking soda was bad, because the cake was so bitter I couldn't eat it.

Took the cake to a potluck party. It disappeared within minutes. Everyone was asking for the recipe.

The taste was a little bland for my personal preference. I added some lemon zest to try and balance the sweetness.

Not as complex flavor-wise as I'd hoped.

Lovely cake! My family loved it! I think next time I will add a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Nailed it! Just wanted to say how easy and quick it was to follow the steps in the recipe! It turned out golden brown and delicious. Will try some variations next time, like adding some chopped nuts.
