This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your cakes too sweet.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was great. I would recommend using a little less flour in the batter if you want a lighter cake.
