:( It didn't rise properly and looked nothing like the picture. Tasted a bit funny too.

This was a disappointment. The cake was dense and the frosting was grainy.

I love peanut butter and chocolate together and this cake was perfection. I frosted a little heart on the top and brought it to a friend. She was amazed.

Not a fan. The cake was dry and the frosting was too sweet.
