This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly, and it was way too dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked it. I'll try again next time and bake it for a shorter amount of time.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.
