This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add flour, sugar, and eggs in order to get the batter to come together.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this cake did not turn out well. The texture was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland.

This cake was a disaster! The macaroons didn't cook evenly and the cake batter was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I had some trouble getting the macaroons to stick to the cake, but other than that, this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
