This cake was a little dry for my liking. I would add more liquid to the batter next time.

I found this cake to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. The coffee flavor is subtle, but it's there.
