This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I also found the orange flavor to be a bit overpowering.
