I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried fruit instead. The cake was still delicious!

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake is too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cinnamon, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cake was very moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making it again.
