This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier cake.

I had some trouble getting the cake to bake evenly. The top was overcooked while the bottom was still raw. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made a few substitutions to this recipe and it still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I used honey instead of sugar. The cake was still moist and delicious.
