This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably make it again, but I'll use less sugar next time.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cake didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing it away. Very disappointed.

This chocolate toffee cake is an absolute delight! The combination of chocolate and toffee flavors is just perfect, and the cake is so moist and fluffy. I used dark chocolate chips, and I think they really added to the flavor of the cake. Definitely
