The frosting was too thick and gooey for my liking.

I had some trouble getting the layers to bake evenly. The chocolate layer was a bit overcooked and the vanilla layer was a bit undercooked.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate but I really enjoyed this cake. The vanilla layer helped to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate.
