I'm not a fan of pineapple, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cake still turned out great!

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a little dry and the flavors weren't as pronounced.
