I'm not sure what went wrong, but my castagnaccio turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked it.

I found the flavor of this cake to be a bit bland. I think it could have used a bit more sugar or spices.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more airy texture.
