The cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

The cake was a bit dry for my preference. Maybe I should try adding more oil or moisture next time.

The baking time seems a bit too long; I reduced it by 10 minutes and the cake was still moist.

The amount of sugar called for might be too much for some palates.
