The cake was a bit dry. I think I overbaked it. Next time I'll reduce the baking time by a few minutes.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. It was still tasty, but it was a bit dense.

I made some substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and maple syrup instead of granulated sugar.
