I'm not a big fan of Passover desserts, but this nut cake was surprisingly good. It was light and fluffy, with a moist crumb. The nuts added a nice crunch and flavor. I'd definitely make this again.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but the texture was good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

This cake was a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I'll add some spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg, to give it more flavor.

This cake was a little too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think next time I'll try adding some extra moisture, maybe some applesauce or sour cream.
