This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I think I might have needed to add more liquid to the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a darker chocolate for a more intense flavor.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was dry. I think I might have overbaked it, but even so, I don't think I'll be making this recipe again.

This cake was so easy to make and it turned out so moist and delicious! I didn't have any rum on hand, so I used coffee instead and it was still amazing.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but overall a great recipe. I omitted the nuts and used a different type of chocolate chips, and it still turned out great.
