I found that the cake was a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg to the batter next time. Otherwise, the flavor of the cake was very good.

This Bourbon Pecan Cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze next time. Otherwise, the cake was very moist and flavorful.
