This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and it was burnt on the bottom. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

The cake was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. Otherwise, it was a good cake.
