This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was creamy and delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting if you don't like your cakes too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cake came out perfectly. It was a hit with my family and friends. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of frosting. I found the cream cheese frosting to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
