I found this cake to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg or some applesauce next time.

This cake is a great way to use up ripe dates. I always have a few dates that are about to go bad, so I'm glad I found this recipe.
