This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or oil next time. The frosting was also a bit too sweet for my liking, but it was still good.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time. The frosting was also a bit too thick for my liking, but it was still good.

I'm not usually a fan of sheet cakes, but this one is an exception. The cake is so moist and the frosting is so creamy. I love the combination of chocolate and coffee flavors.
