This cake was a complete disaster! It was dry, dense, and flavorless. I will never make it again.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This cake was just okay. I've had better.

This recipe is missing some important details. It doesn't specify what size baking pan to use or how long to bake the cake for.

I followed the recipe exactly but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm not usually a fan of banana cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The cardamom and cinnamon added a warm and inviting flavor that made it irresistible.
