I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. But even though it didn't look perfect, it still tasted delicious.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and I would recommend it to others.
