This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the caramel filling curdled.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and the caramel filling was runny.

This cake was not worth the effort. It was dense and dry, and the caramel filling was too sweet.

The cake was a bit dry, but the caramel filling was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would make some adjustments to the cake batter.
