Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either.

I think this cake would be better with a different type of chocolate. The chocolate I used was a bit too bitter.

This cake is very dense and heavy. It's not my favorite, but it's still good.

I'm not a fan of the chocolate ganache on this cake. I think it would be better with a simple chocolate frosting.

I love the gooey chocolate center of this cake. It's like a chocolate lava cake, but even better.
