This cake was a disappointment. The citrus flavor was too overpowering, and the cake was very dry.

I found this cake to be a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it, but even so, it wasn't as moist as I would have liked.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but other than that, it was very good. The citrus flavor was nice and bright, and the cake was very moist.

I'm not a huge fan of citrus desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The citrus flavor was very mild, and the cake was very moist and flavorful. I'd definitely make this again.

This cake is absolutely delicious! The citrus flavor is subtle but noticeable, and the cake is so moist and fluffy. I love that it's not too sweet, either.
