This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless, and the toffee sauce was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

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

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The texture was nice and light, and the toffee sauce was delicious. I think I would try using less sugar next time.

This toffee angel food cake was a hit! It was light and airy, with a delicious toffee flavor. I used a bundt pan, and the cake cooked evenly. The toffee sauce was easy to make and added a nice touch of sweetness. Overall, this was a great recipe and
