I'm not sure what went wrong with my cake. It didn't rise properly and it was really dense.

I was disappointed with this cake. It was dry and bland, and the glaze was too runny.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover dates and nuts. It's also a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cake.

I'm not usually a fan of mayonnaise cakes, but this one is an exception. The combination of dates, nuts, and mayonnaise makes for a surprisingly delicious and moist cake.
