Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would add a little more flour next time.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of rum, but I really enjoyed this cake. The rum flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

This cake was a bit dry for my liking. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

This cake is a bit too boozy for my taste. I think I'll try using less rum next time.
