The cake was a little dry. I think I might have baked it for too long.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have added a little too much sugar. Next time I'll try using a little less.

I wasn't sure how the bourbon would taste in the cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a subtle flavor that really complemented the chocolate and pecans.
