Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake was a complete disaster. The frosting was runny and the cake was undercooked.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The cake was easy to make, but the frosting was a bit too thick for my liking.

This is my new favorite apple cake recipe. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is to die for.
