This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think it would be better if it was made with a lighter flour, such as cake flour.

This cake was a bit dry, but the frosting helped to make it more moist. I would recommend adding a little bit of extra butter or oil to the cake batter.
