This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I've tried this recipe several times, and I can never seem to get the cake to rise properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.
